I agree with Guill73, Lypigs, Voodoojoint etc obviously have different views on this subject than Aeonkat, But as it is not aeonkats forum, she must respect the rules.
I must be honest, and admit when first joining this forum, I thoguht the rules regarding punctuation, spelling etc. Were abit over-the-top, and they did slightly put me off posting, for fear of "making a mistake." But I really respect these rules now, and can clearly see the reason for them, I have taken part in too many forums with slack grammer, capitilazation rules, and I do agree it makes posts a heck of alot harder to read.
