    whenever you see someone post a big wall of unformatted text, do what i do.
    go on grok and tell it to reformat the text and reword it like an 1800's gold prospector.

    I need to do this with some work email's. If nothing else it would give
    me a chuckle.

    ... I'll have what the guy in the ambulance had...

    you're actually turning a turd into gold when you do this.

    A Yarn from a Gold Prospector, Circa 1800s

    Howdy, partner! Gather 'round the campfire, and let me spin ya a tale as true as the glint o' gold in a riverbed. Now, when I see folks tossin' up a big
    ol' mess o' words, all jumbled-like with nary a break nor breath, I reckon I know just what to do. I mosey on over to that newfangled contraption called Grok, slicker than a greased pickaxe, and I tell it to spruce up that heap o' text. I say, "Grok, you take them words and make `em shine like a nugget
    fresh from the stream, and spin `em into a yarn like an ol' gold prospector might tell!"

    Now, there was a feller by the name o' Eelated, and he piped up, sayin', "I'm mighty fond o' this here notion!" His words rang out like a hammer on an anvil, clear and true, showin' he took a shine to my way o' thinkin'.

    So, next time you're facin' a wall o' text tougher than a miner's biscuit, just holler at Grok and tell it to rework that mess into a tale fit for a prospector's campfire. You'll be richer for it, I reckon!

    if i didnt have to deal with apis and limited usage i'd rig the quoted msgs
    on here to go through grok with that filter.
