It would be nice if spelling and grammar were taking more under consideration, but I don't understand the complaints about messages being hard to read and understand. I have no problem at all understanding even the most horribly typed messages, I even use translation services to do some things that make some messages on here look like professional grade documents. It seems to me that if you can't understand something even if it's badly written, you have no right to complain because it isn't like it takes any extra skill or adjustment to figure things out. If anything I just find it arrogant. Not everything will ever be perfectly clear and easy to read, but complaining about not being able to understand it, in my opinion, makes people look just as bad. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Thomas Ward" <thomasward1...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 10:59 AM To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on posts to the list and to Audyssey magazine - Re: Important Notice For All List Members > Hi Charles, > > I am in full agreement with you on this point.
