The reason is likely to do with how screen reader like jaws 
process text.

with correct punctuation, it's far easier to get the sense 
of what someone is saying.

it's also a good habit to get into in case you need to write 
a formal letter.

for example.  i work in tech support.  Most of my 
correspondence are via e-mail.

Imagine what would happen if I didn't use correct 
punctuation?

chances are, if you don't write correctly in e-mail groups 
or discussion forums, it'll bleed over to your more formal 
correspondence, which is a bad reflection on the individual.

Just my view and should be taken as such.
