I personally dont care whether someone uses punctuation or not however this is getting way off topic and so Id like to ask that this topic be closed because punctuation is not the focus of the list if you cant read someones message then its not worth reading. That being said, I'll rewrite this now using punctuation so my message will be worth reading. Please let's all stop the punctuation thread. If you choose to not read someone's message due to poor punctuation or lack there of, that is your choice. If a poster can't bother to correctly put punctuation in, they are risking that someone will skip their messages. Also, let's keep in mind that English is not everyone's first language on list here. So, if there is a poster who does not spell things correctly or use correct punctuation at all times, let's try to be a bit leaniant. English is not my first language, and I know I mess up on punctuation and spelling lots of times, but i do try.
So, let's get back to gaming folks. many thanks.
