spell check anyone?
I know, I'm not the worlds greatest speller either, but a simple read 
through of your message before sending, along with a quick spell check will 
make your messages a whole lot easier to comprehend.
it's especially hard for those folks on the list who speak English as a 
second language as well when words are completely garbled and little 
punctuation exists.
