This in is relation to your posts in general. Please take the time
to proofread and correct grammer errors. It does make a difference
in how people perceive you. And, its a courtesy to send posts to the
list that are easy to read. Also, quite a few members of this list
do not speak english as their native language and trying to decifer a
post that lacks puncuation can be a pain in the ass for them.

Now, having said that, if english is not your native language, or if
you have a disability, please let us know so we'll get off your back :)

Do you have a disability or ESL?

<errors found> = 3
grammer --> grammar [spelling]
its --> it's [not possessive]
decifer --> decipher

Take your own advice. Run a spellcheck before you send.

Whoa! Don't start this here. If you watch, there will be few (if
any) flawless messages here. I think his point was that a sentence
with punctuation, space, and the occasional capital letter makes a
sentence a LOT more readable than without.

You missed a few, so apparently you need a refresher course yourself.

I hope you are being facetious, but I didn't see any smileys, so I
guess not, which means your just being mean. To what end, I must ask?

I wish to point out that it is in VERY poor taste to point out
anothers mistakes..-Especially- in public..
If you simply cannot stand it..Send that PERSON [I say it in caps to
point out that we are all people here..Except for the Bull-bot of
course ] a Private message..
