I think they just are unable to use anything but their thumbs for typing ;-)

And they probalby push each key an average of three times.

Every now and again, you have to let a freebie go through to keep the lads
amused. ;-P

Took you a whole day, though......

I left this newsgroup because certain readers were more interested in
bitching than helping others out now I other forums like mbuk and
alike - cos atleast there talking about biking

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

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.

I can't speak for Norco's myself, but there were an awful lot of gals riding
them in Rossland. ( see there's biking talk for you!)

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.

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

goodness??!! I guess you missed the post where I corrected myself, having
found out that it's called "text-speak" from cell phone thumb typing text
messages? Is it pompous and snobbish to correct oneself on an newsgroup??.

If using proper grammar and punctuation sounds pompous and snobbish,
call me a pompous snob. You're the one inserting a perceived value
judgement into the discussion. I can't speak for Penny, but in my case,
I don't think that using proper grammar makes you better or worse; it
does make your posts easier to read, which in turn makes me more likely
to try to answer them usefully.

If reading and posting to newsgroups helps kids and disadvantaged folk
improve their literacy and computer skills, thereby helping them to
educate themselves about any topic that suits their fancy, I also
welcome them. Unfortunately, I don't know how prevalent internet access
is for those who would most benefit in these ways.

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

When I am asking a favor from a group of strangers, I'm always careful
to present myself in the least offensive manner possible. In the case
of newsgroups, this usually means lurking for a while and getting to
know the tone and personalities of the group.
