Not desiring to continue the thread, but:
i guess
we have 2?
This is not IRC, it is a mailing list.
whats irc
got to do with anything?
There is no need to use the
silly little abbreviations designed to "speed up" on-line chat and
the typing of same.
theyre not silly
what is _really_ silly is acronyms (and as i say - iha: i hate acronyms)
how am i supposed to decipher AMIOKOAI or whatever that stuff some of u
write is?
im not gonna look up in a acronym list everytime i see this stuff
Use English or as close an approximation as you can.
thats exactly what im doing
Capital letters help as well as punctuation -- a

is not expected to be the end of a sentence, especially when the next
line starts in lower case. My best estimate is that the quoted message
took me at least three times as long to parse as it should have.
oh im really sorry
it troubled u so
but i really other problems here r much more serious
