LOL. Another post that just won't die. Do you have a knack for this or what, Gautum? I thought about splitting this up into paragraphs, but decided against it. This post may reach 100 before you do, but keep trying. I like your style.

I think this is all rather stupid. I think this as a mustang board (?), where people come to communicate about mustangs and some other topics not related to mustangs at all (hence the Blue Oval Lounge). Although I do agree with filtering some content to ensure the integrity of the site, whether some one wants to communicate will the CAPS LOCK ON,

Put everything

into little paragraphs,

speak dans la Francais, tup lla eht srettel sdrawkcab (put all the letters backwards), or miss out on punctuation and capital letters, should not matter here. Although one may not receive the response that was hoped for.

If you do not like the way someone posts don't read it. Once you get to "know" the people here an how they post, I think you actually understand them better and know there posting style. I look forward to some peoples posts here, while others, I read only when I have a little extra time or when I have finished reading everything else.

I believe that there are people from other countries here that don't speak or write English as well as others. Are we going to tell them they shouldn't post here because they forgot to put a capital at the beginning of a sentence? I like to see all the proper English, punctuation included, it makes thing way easier to read. I would not however, tell people it annoys me when they don't communicate properly. If the message is too long for you to understand skip the post! I'm sure that their will be lots of other posts to read.

Anyway, I guess this is a Flame.

The original request was valid. By making something easier to read and understand you are increasing the likelihood that someone will respond to your questions.

Breaking a message up into paragraphs is a great start. As noted already, most of us are capable of sifting through the bad grammar and misspellings, but lack of puncuation and structure can really discourage someone from reading a message. How many of you actually read Snakeman's example?

Gautam didn't suggest any specific size of paragraph, just that messages aren't all one long paragraph. I think it's a good suggestion.

No lack of divirgent opinions here. I think that's healthy.
