The reason I am no longer posting

I would be quite insulted by Bob's comments if I am a landed immigrant who is unable to write very well in English. A person's ability to use proper grammar and sentence structure is very dependant on that person's background which includes, but not limited to, their educational, cultural, social, economical, and even their demographical background. To make such a comment violates that person's constitutional right to express themselves freely REGARDLESS of their ability to do so in the English language.
An individual's tolerance of those who are not fluent writing in the English language should be kept to themselves - to publicly express your intolerance is otherwise known as racism.

Sad to see this thread take a racial turn.

I don't think Bob is anything other than a man who likes exellent grammar.

We're here to learn about reefs! i kept reading to find his post saying he was just kidding. Come here to learn how to best care for your reef, bad english or not. There may even be young reefers just getting wet (as I am) who simply haven't mastered grammar etc. It matters not. Reef on!

Gee Bob... you're sounding a little racist and elitist. People here are not writing a legal contact but are here to chat and learn insight to great hobby. Sometimes our thoughts come out faster than we type. If you have ever worked in the airline industry it is filled with abbreviations for common words. I use them frequently on MSN. I will help other members as best I can and if I need clarification on their thoughts I will ask for it. Anyway you have a great time and pse (please) close the door when you leave.
