I'm a writer, and as such it could be I'm a little too critical of some posts I see here and elsewhere. When I notice something that's filled with caps, ellipses, too many exclamation points, or just plain old bad grammar, I skip it unread. Some may say I'm missing something good when I do, but I simply find I don't have the time (nor the inclination) to wade through a bunch of illiterate argle-bargle to suss out someone's point ... if in fact they have one. :::curmudgeon hat off::: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
