If they dare to appear on this hallowed newsgroup via gardenbanter,
they

are
the lowest of the low.

Why?


I originally thought that it was a group run by primary school children
somewhere because of the lack of punctuation. I later worked out that it
was
website which apparently strips out the punctuation when it posts - is
this
true? Anyway I think that the fact that the posts appear in this way
leads
people to subconsciously think that the OP is stupid and/or about 7 years
old. Just my theory anyway

Probably the younger generation who have grown up with SMS speak :~)

I have friends who send emails with out punctuation, paragraphs or any
form of
spelling check :~(

We have a Canadian friend that sends long letters like that, makes for an
interesting read!!! :-)
