Yes, I agree completely (and understood your point too ;-). 

I hit the delete key when I find nonwrapped lines, when the text
is an heap of "kool wordz" (I, although not being an english
mother-tongue, do *hate* when people bastardize it), when there's no
subject or the subject is not self-explaining and when the text is
full of html tags.
