    Whew! I really want to respond to this topic, but my wireless keyboard is misbehaving and I can't get over to get a new one till Monday. Some letters have to be hit at least 10 times before it appears on the screen.

    The newest trend seems to be toward typing as if they were text messaging. There's no capitalization, loaded with abbreviations and not a smidgeon of punctuation.

    But text messaging, spelling or punctuation aren't my biggest pet peeve. My biggest pet peeve is that it often seems that providing the all important; who, what, why, when where and how hasn't even entered the posters mind! The initial post of that type usually says something like; "My dog is limping, what do you think is wrong with him, my dog has the runs, what should I do, my dog is constantly shaking his head, what's wrong with him"? Well gee! Their own vet couldn't even help if that was all the information he/she had.

    Stepping down from soapbox now!

    Did you ever get to see this thread? I think you will enjoy it if you haven't already seen it.

    I think we covered this earlier....and of course, we have covered the lack of many folks here, to give a hoot how and what they type.

    Half of the posts in the latest group of drivel by our in house drama queens are pathetic at best.

    I suspect we will have to either put these folks on our ignore list or just move on and wait for them to mature.

    Oh well.

    Punctuation

    Indeed. Interesting that those that berate others for errors on where things are posted, cannot find the key that has the > symbol on it
    Also coming from a long line of drama queens (skipped my generation but my mom and baby sister ) I avoid those scenes as well.
    Who has that kind of time and energy?
