Illegible posts!

Everyone, please, PLEASE look at what you have typed before you send your post. We all have an occassional typo or misspelled word (which can be corrected using the EDIT feature) but some of these posts are bordering on illegibilty! And do NOT use IM or text message type abbreviations (read your terms of service agreement)! I remind you that this is an international forum and many members use english as a secondary language and have to literally translate what they are reading. If those of us having english as a mother tongue have difficulty reading what you are posting imagine what its like for our international members! It doesn't take but just a few seconds to look at what you are about to post before you send it and it will make reading your post a lot more enjoyable for us all.
And make it a lot more likely for you to get an appropriate response!

Thanks for the reminder, Merlin

Thanks, Merlin!!
This is something that has bothered me for some time, but I didn't know how to go about bringing it up.
It's especially difficult to read posts that do not have punctuation or capital letters. I sometimes have to read them over and over to find out where one idea ended and another is starting! It takes so much time, that by the time I've figured it out, I don't have time to write a reply!

If you are having a problem or concern all you have to do is PM one of the Admin/mod team. If the person you pm'ed can't resolve it it will be brought to the entire team. Its what we are here for.
