Totally agree. But also if you are going to ask a question and ask for
free advice at no cost from volunteers who take time out of their day to
try and help for free and at no cost, at least have the gumption and
politeness to write the message in a legible form so you don't make
reading it a chore. That's all I'm saying.

Er, mistakes(s) I think you'll find.

My two cents: Newbies need to learn and if we just ignore the top
posters, the poor spellers, the people who think it's OK to use SMS TXT
shorthand and the grammar destroyers, newsgroups will be the worse for it.
