I just wanted to second that. Personally, if I can't make sense of the
post without having to try and figure out what the OP meant, I just
delete it and move on. That's assuming that the Subject line (or the
portion of it that doesn't fall off the side of the screen, as that's all
I see---the first few words matter), I usually don't even bother to read
it at all.

I also skip posts where what appears to be a question is worded as a
stateement (usually also with no question mark), or with statements that
have question marks instead of periods (and this is far too common with
American-English speakers, too). Every now and then, if I'm in the mood
to try to help, I will at least try to figure it out...otherwise, delete
and move on.

With that, I'm out of here...other stuff to do.

Later,
