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.
