Not really enough time in the day to keep track of different rules for 
all the forums.
I am more concerned about content than form.

As long as the questions get answered, I can figure out where it is but 
it is a PITA to scroll down through an e-mail to find out that there is 
nothing there worth reading.
I get over 100 e-mails per day that make it through my filters. I like 
to read the content as soon as it pops up rather than searching for the 
text.
