Not many people bother to read posts that are in capitals, have no punctuation, are spelt badly, are ungrammatical, use uncommon abbreviation, etc. I make the effort, but can't guarantee that I'll always manage it. One person has to put in an effort to make their posts reasonably legible, so that one hundred people will read it.

Of course we get the occasional oaf who doesn't proofread his or her posts.

Post in haste, edit at leisure.

Well... you get a week to edit it so it's reasonably readable.

I don't care at all about the occasional blunder, I know I make them myself. Also, occasionally it's fun to break out of the pattern, for comic effect, or emphasis.

I really can't handle people who think L337 is clever. (Did I get that right? I don't really care!)

And... while I'm in rant-mode, rather than in bed asleep, like I should be... what is this current fad of using bad automatic translators? I've just seen another bit of non-Latin - wrong verb + one English word un-translated.

Quarrelsome rants will get us nowhere quickly.

Such trivia... L33t (and boy, am I embarrassed that I got it right). Maybe it's already passé, which would make it OK for me to know about it.

To oaf or not to post... that is not necessarily a question.

(and i can proofread, and SEE the mistakes just fine... but i am still stumped as to how to correct them, so i guess i could just not poat, but lau is pretty entertaining, so i will oaf along in his wake.)
