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.
