OK, since the subject has already been broached here, I'm not taking this thread too much more OT more than it already is. This idea that capitalization and punctuation rules exist only to get a 5th grade English grade is, well, juvenile.
As has already been said, the reason we have these rules is so the written language can be understood. It has nothing to do with "grades" and everything to do with communicating.
The person who won't use at least enough punctuation and capitalization to divide his writing into basic sentences is like the driver who changes lanes and cuts in front of another driver to avoid braking. He is forcing the driver he cut off to now brake. He has no problem inconveniencing others to avoid minor effort himself.
