I have to agree. Mis-spelling makes a post hard to read and understand. It also effectively disables any future searches on the mis-spelled terms.

Other forums I have used have a spell check feature on the tool bar. There is a free Internet Explorer add-in for those interested: http://www.iespell.com/

Run-on and fragmentary sentences are even harder to decipher. I sense that many who use them do not feel comfortable with writing in complete sentences with appropriate punctuation. I don't understand why.

The bottom line is that clear communication will result in the highest likelihood of getting help for a problem, giving effective help that folks can understand, and enabling future users to benefit from the thread as well.

...And Those That Capitalize Every Letter In Their Posts. Not Really Annoying Per Say, But Indeed Odd

I must admit. I've avoided this thread for a few days now, because I thought the topic itself was annoying, however, curiosity got the best of me & I had to chime in:redface:

Would you smear vasaline all over your corvette?

Speaking of Corvettes......that reminds me of one of the most painful topics to read.

They go something like this - "My corvette can stop quicker than my 3/4 ton suburban not towing......so as long as I have trailer brakes it will be able to stop quicker when towing my 5000lb boat".

tacklewasher, that was funny and most of it true. However, on iboats we don't seem to encourage posting in existing threads.

Which leads me to my biggest annoyance.....people who dig up 5 year old posts!!!!!

I would think it would make more sense to search, and pull up an old thread than to waste bandwidth by starting a new, redundant thread.

That's as critical as I will get, as I don't want my peepee smacked via PM again. :D

Now THAT would be annoying:p:D

I had to go with "what's this boat worth". I know what I will pay you for it...but what you'll take is something else entirely.:confused:
