Hi, Piyush -

Welcome to TAG and thanks for trying to help out; I appreciate that. The
list policy violations, on the other hand, not so much.

1) You clearly have not read The Answer Gang FAQ *or* "Asking Questions
of The Answer Gang" - strike one, a big one. It's considered rude,
netiquette-wise, to just jump into a group without understanding its
culture and policies.

2) Top-posting is considered rude pretty much everywhere.

3) Sending HTML mail instead of plain text - you're just stacking them
up, aren't you? This is inconsiderate of other people's bandwidth, as
well as requiring our Mailbag Editor to mess about deleting the
unnecessary extra copy of your mail. Turn that off, please.

4) I don't know who this "u" is that you keep talking to, but I'd
appreciate it if you'd leave him out of TAG. The second person informal
pronoun - the standard English construction used in these cases - is
"you"; please use it if that's what you mean. A reasonable amount of
attention paid to spelling and grammar is also considered polite in
communicating with other people.
