ur right bout that, coz it makes it hard to read. I think this style comes from instant chat boards, where you make your point quick if you want to be heard. It also displays the young age of the writer, in some cases. I look at it being the equivalent of talking while chewing gum or wearing your baseball cap sideways.

What do you mean when you say benefit to interested reader's.

We like ALL Technical Information to be posted on the message boards ,not drift into e-mail land.

This is why user's come to the forums.
Cause the forums have the info.

If I missed your point, please explain, so I understand what you are referring to.

Interesting thread here,Ken. I wondered about the "no E addresses" rule.
I understand and agree with the policy. Spam is not a problem for me BUT as for hogging your bandwidth,that's a different story entirely.
This is no place for bots,spyware and malware if they don't own a FORD!
