My post wasn't meant as flame warlander. It was simply meant as some good advice. I have a cousin who often sent me emails as one long stream of words with misspellings and no punctuation. It is frustrating to read and gives an extremely bad impression to another person.
If you have the time to write, then write well. I am no stranger to using short cuts, but I try to limit it; If you feel that it my post was meant in a bad way then I apologize. It is unfortunately true that our parent's advice is often correct, and that the first impression is a lasting impression.
Peace.
