I think he failed. Unlike the other poster, Adam's was still readable.

Punctuation

I really dont think its that difficult to read maybe if I was home I could pull out the grammar books and make a valiant attempt to portray Einstein but since I'm usually at work responding and posting between tasks who cares if you dont like it ADAM simply dont read t thats your right

You're right, I don't have to read it if I don't want to. Frankly, I couldn't give a crap about your grammar, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm also not talking about your vocabulary.

I'm talking about basic punctuation, something to divide one thought from another. I post from work all the time, I post from my phone all the time. Using a period or a comma doesn't take extra time.

Now, again, I don't have to read your posts, I'm not saying this for my benefit. This is only advice about how to get the most out of this forum. Take it or leave it.

That is stupid. He is the moderator. Part of his purpose is to read posts. (Please pardon the punctuation).

Plus! How? Do you know, whether you "like" - it until after; you've read it.

There is a difference between vocabulary and punctuation. But, I could be wrong.

Stick around long enough and you will see that the moderators can do whatever they like. The rules do not apply to them.

What are these rules that you speak of? That we shouldn't do something because a poster thinks we shouldn't do it?

I belong to another board where your post would get you suspended. Discussion of moderators and moderation there is strictly forbidden.

Not only is that not going to happen here, I didn't even remove your post.

If you would like us to put together a laundry list of rules, let me know.

And on that note, I'm closing the thread.
