I know I'm a newbie her and this may be bad for, but why, for the love of G-d. do so many people on the internet refuse to use capital letters or punctuation? I mean, I know I'm not perfect myself but what is with people making a 50 word post with absolutely no punctuation or capitals?

Yeah, I find it pretty annoying too.

One time, a long time ago, some poster posted a 2 page long paragraph. Other members literally had to rewrite it to make it readable.

I have no patience in general for posts that go on and on and on.

If a new thread shows up and it is more than a page, I don't even bother to read it.

Don't have the energy.....

For some of us our education is woefully lacking. For my part I have been trying and I'll get better given time.

LOL...

When I read some posts here, especially the ones laced with vitriol, it just makes me think they'd be lousy poker players......

You can read them and their agendas a million miles away.......

CaliCali01, I can't rep you again, and I can't DM you, and I can't post on your wall, so this is the only place I can think to tell you ... your DM cracked me up.

Yeah, I wanted to tell him something, too, but he's Mr. Phantom Unreachable!

Of course, I could've said it on the thread as well, but it had to end on a positive/wanted by some note.
