Sometimes, it depends. If I really care about them, yes.

More like you got on them.

Well, you didn't call me a hopeless loser yet, nor did you cuss at me.
And you left out a whole bunch of other stuff I need to get done, like
clean my bedroom, get married, have kids, buy a better car, quit
smoking, save for retirement, and get a haircut.

Fundamentally, I like you fine. You're a good person, you've got a good
heart. But nagging annoys me and sometimes you misspell things to the
extent that I don't know what you're talking about. But those things
aren't so important as to whether I like a person or not.

Yeah, I know I let some bad typos through. I don't spend lots of time
proofing...this is usenet, you know.

I know I shouldn't nag you, but....
