%HEL
%LIS
%QUE
%LIN
%UNL
%Use
%Rea
%Fid
%Tag
%Gre
%Con
? :D That would accommodate users with their smartphones a little better.
Reduce to two letters of commands
%HELP
%LIST
%QUERY
%LINKED
%UNLINKED
will not work, and to three it makes no sense.
I said THREE chars. Sending in something like this:
%Use
%Tag May tagline!
%Gre Hello World..
%Con ..Bye for now.
..is a lot less typing than:
%Useerprofile
%Tagline May tagline!
%Greeting Hello World..
%Conclusion ..Bye for now.
Putting it another way, maybe have it so that the lowercase chars are optional:
%HELp
%LISt
%QUEry
%LINked
%UNLinked
%USErname
%REAlname
%FIDoaddress
%TAGline
%GREeting
%CONclusion
I am just thinking of their usage from a smartphone. Having a command fail due to typos near the END of the commands, something like:
%unlinkd
%usernm
%realnem
%fidoadress #######
%taglinee #######################
%greatings #####################
%concluiosn ##################
..would be a tad frustrating.
BUT, if your system can just accept the first THREE chars after the %, then that would be cool.
Heve a nice carrot!
Is that the same as to heave a carrot? :D
