So far as HenHanna is concerned, here are some things that annoy people:
 
1. Refusing to format messages in a normal way;

Harmless.

2. Refusing to use normal punctuation;

Harmless.

3. Refusing to use capitals when they are needed (beginnings of
sentences, the pronoun I, etc.);

Harmless.

4. Ignoring all suggestions (and not offering arguments against them);

That is more than annoying:  it is regressive.

5. Using abbreviations like pls and ppl that may be acceptable in SMS
messages, but are not acceptable in a group devoted to English usage;

Harmless.

6. Insisting on signing as HH after being told several times that there
was already an HH at alt.usage.english who had been there much earlier.
(He's gone now, but was a regular when HenHanna arrived.)

You would already be able to disambiguate the two by other methods.
