Charles, while checking for understandability is all well and good...
there's a fine line between lack of that and simple spelling errors. Unless
it is a major one, you can still understand the post. Punctuation is the
same thing... a couple of missing punctuation points aren't the problem. And
we originally started this thread as blind people not having the best
communication skills to them... and while I think we should enforce that,
turning this into a list of messages with perfect spelling and punctuation
sounds too much like a police state. I'm all for good spelling and
punctuation and grammar, but... there's a limit to how much that should be
enforced. See what I there in the last sentence? Should that one sentence
mean my entire message is banned, or that I have to resend the whole thing
again simply because of that one error?

If you have been reading messages that I have posted, you would have seen
that on at least 2 occasions, I have very clearly stated that there are
people who do not use English as their first language, and I have no
problem with that reason. If you have been following this thread, you
also have noticed that I am not the only one on the list who is of the
same opinion I have.
And, as for starting my own list?, I do co-own a list of general chat,
assistance with blind related issues, kidding around, and what ever else
as long as it is family oriented. One of the guidelines is that you check
your messages for understandability before sending them, and we do not
have any of the problems discussed in this thread, and the guideline does
not offend one! single! member! that we are aware of.
The main reason, though, that I am responding to your message is that I
figure that, seeing as you blast me unnecessarily for all the list to see,
I think that they should all see my response.

One question, is this a gaming list or English list.
Just because Charles gets his nose bent on reading email by people in
other countries. Don't mean we put this crap in the guidelines.
If you want that rule Charles. Then start your own list and you will be
happy to know. Your the only member!
Back to games if this still is a gaming list.

I completely concure on the points suggested, such as putting
proofreading
elements in the guidelines. However, I think we are all probably taking
this a little too far, although I could be wrong. I just don't want
people
posting to the list and having to check several things, and thus getting
borred of doing this every time they have to send a message.
