The reason I am no longer posting

Great link, Invigor

I, too, have trouble understanding some posts. Some posts are by younger members who write in Internet-ese, or whatever it's called, and other posts are by members who should really know how to spell better.

Of course, this board and others like it are not English class. There will be a certain portion of posters who are excellent spellers and others who are not.

Bottom line for me is that if I don't understand what a poster is talking about with relative ease, I ignore them, no matter how much I might want to help with their reef related problems.

Gads, look at all those run-on sentences Did anyone understand what I was saying???

Really, is it all that bad, sure some use comp short lingo, but we also have some great people that may have trouble either using a keyboard or the language itself. Why not just let those that use the board keep up the good, or great info and questions and those that are concerned with poor language not respond, sure wont take any effort to help or ignore? Just a newbie wondering why this even came up.
