If sounding pompous and snobbish makes you a better person than
someone thats come to this forum, seeking advise, then I welcome
school kids, and the public minority that suffer from illiteracy, to
post away here on this 'public' newsgroup.

Which only makes YOU sound pompous and snobbish, BTW. Good communication
skills are a valuable asset, and while I may occasionally (shut up, Dave W)
play the Spelling Nazi here, I am quite prepared someday for the bad speller to
say "Hey, lighten up. I'm severely dyslexic / only 10 years old / pick good
reason for bad spelling of you choice".

You yourself might want to think about how others percieve you.

Et tu....

"pas" had this to say

It's easier to talk about biking when a post is literate, is all.

norco's are a great bike my friend has one climbs great though they
seem cheap and are cheap so you get what you pay for but then it
rides great and feels great - its upto you - are you after a bike
that looks good or feels good?

- and I didn't use any caps or puntuate. how about that...

Sure you did, you capilized "I", and used "?". It's all in how you
want people to percieve you... illiterate, immature and using the
parent's computer when cutting school ( at least that's how "u-speak"
appears to me) or someone who's literate, somewhat mature ( har har)
and interested in communicating well about the passion for biking,
with the world.



sounds a bit anal-retentive to me, or at least just being downright
snobby...

na, couldn't be. This is, after all AM-B.

You know, from your spelling and grammar, I'd have never pegged you as an
MBUK forum member...

Holy ****, is English your first language?

MBUK forum is thataway ---

For those unaware of the MBUK forum, this is a particularly cracking
example: http://www.mbuk.com/forum/topic.asp?...TOPIC_ID=51605

Your right, perfect example. It just goes to show your own arrogance
towards communicating.

Look through this thread, a fellow newsgroup reader asked a reasonable
question. I answered, and a few others managed to, too. Then we have
the handful lecturing about proper literacy and comunication, notice
these are the people that havent bothered to answer the original
question? You think MBUK's bad, you should look at this newsgroup. You
spend more time bitching about other people/places, that you fail to
create a point... It wasn't puntuated, we know, we read, and we still
managed to answer.

As for the MBUK shorthand type, where's your youth gone? The first
sign of getting old is when you start grumpily complaining about the
younger generation.

My 'arrogance towards communicating'?

From my own personal point of view, I was not qualified to answer. I don't
know enough about the Norco brand. That does not prevent me responding to
you though - this is a discussion forum, after all.

Which is fine. You have your forum nuances and we have ours. Here we
prefer to be able to read a post without having to translate it first.

My youth? You make it sound like I'm really old, like I'm in my 30's or
something...

The first sign of getting old is when you start grumpily complaining
about the younger generation.

I'm not complaining about youth, I'm complaining about being able to read
posts. I'm English and I speak English - I'd expect in an English-speaking
group to read posts written in English, not some horrible *******isation
of the language which is difficult to understand.

I note that you're fully able to write and punctuate when you set your
mind to it. It only takes a little amount of effort and it is appreciated.
Not bothering is just pure laziness.
