Member X 91 Posted May 15, 2011 Welcome aboard Just a comment on punctuation etc (for everyone, as it's my pet peeve also :P lol) This board is read by many people from different countries, many of whom have English only as a second language. If we English speakers can't be bothered to write correctly then we are effectively stopping these people from joining in, because what should be a few sentences or a paragraph becomes one massive block of untranslateable text... It comes to something when non-english speakers (Luthier, KeNnY, any of our french members, etc etc...) are speaking and writing English better than those of us with it as our mother tongue! Have some pride in communicating correctly and effectively!! Rant over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
