Please don't use slang, hacker phrases, and alternate spelling.
SRCard, much like it's sister list ShadowRN, is an international
mailing list and weird spelling/grammar techniques can get confusing.
(Heck, even for those of us claiming to be fluent in English it can be
pretty annoying. ;o)

Thanx!

It's no biggie. I've just seen the issue come up on other lists
before, and wanted to catch it. I didn't mean to come off sounding
harsh. That's why I added the smiley. :o)

Thanx for your participation on the list, and regular posting.

Yes, but keep in mind that since this is an entirely written enviroment,
your intelligence and manner is determined from the nature of your
typing/spelling/speech patterns, and typing like a 12 year old warez brat
brings up an image of just that, a 12 year old warez brat.

While one should strive to keep his posts small, keeping the words small is
not necessarily a desirable course of action.

Woah! Attack of the killer "net speak"! Ouch... :]

Anyways, there is no card price guide available yet, and I don;t expect to
see one for at least another month. It usually takes a few months before
prices "officially" start appearing.

Personally, while prices make comparing cards easier in general, I'd rather
not see SR become what Magic has become... A Buyers' Market...:/

Okay. PLEASE use correct english! This is not some lame warez IRC
channel or something <ducking the flames>; we're all intelligent people
and know how to speak and writer properly. People will forgive you if
your English is bad, but this is just plain annoying...

No one got the joke because you won't find that pathetic crap in any
Shadowrun product.

again, your on my twit list.

thousands ... :)

Sorry, I know this topic is gitting overly abused and totally out of hand,
but don't you think it's funny how 'write' was spelled in the above
paragraph? ;>

And secondly, while I kan respect the fact that postings sent to this
forum should use mostly proper/correct/PC english, I don't enjoy the
personal attacks on hackers, warez kiddies, AOL, or otherwise. Saying
stuff like that jist provokes the use of the jargon that you are trying
to avoid.

Look. No-one is trying to pck on you, as you seem to think. We are all
asking you, mostly politely, to stop the annoying abbreviated words. .
This is because 1z) it annoys us and you're in the minority, so stop
feeling like you have a right to post it 2)) your english may be good,
but that doesn't mean the next German (or Spaniard, or Brazilian, or
Eskimo) to join the list understands English as well as you. This sort
of posting can be confusing when someone's not familiar with the
language to start with.

Despite being asked politely, you have continued to do it and in fact
are becoming abusive to the people who were trying to be nice. This is
not a good idea. Neither is abusing the listadmin.

No... it means Assistant Fearless Leader. As in , deputy listadmin.
