When the question of why it is important, I try to answer as clearly and understandable as I can. When someone does not get a question asked or doesn't get help with something, and they ask why, and they always use horrible punctuation, grammar or spelling that makes their post practically unreadable, I tell them why. They ask? I answer. Simple as that. There are some people on the list whose messages I don't even bother with, because I know what's coming. If you notice that I don't ever respond to certain people, look at their messages, and you'll notice that they all have something in common.
