lol I think you miss the point mate
Look at your post above - the full stop after "text" isn't really needed as it's clear there's nothing more to read.
However you definitely need some before that to make your comments easy to read otherwise it ends up being a very long sentence with no breaks that doesn't help people understand what you're trying to say which means that they don't pay any attention to your comments I'm sure you want people to read what you type don't you?
Do you get the point now?

Thanks MJF. That's exactly what I meant in a slightly ironic way. Writing without punctuation is something that you could compare to spoken text without intonation and tone. It's like those automated answering machines trying to sound like human and failing miserably.

Ok ok I officially apologise to anyone whom I have offended, confused or upset with my poor punctuation, I will try harder. I really didn't think it was that big of a deal but now I see how strongly some members feel about this. Once again I am sorry.

I think this got bigger than it was meant to be. Obviously there's no need for apologies, I guess some of us just wanted to point out that it might be annoying to read that kind of text and then some asked why we are so anal about it.
Should we move on?

I think this thread should be left well alone until there's actual pics or definite information about these new vins, 'cause everytime I see a new post in it I think that's what it might be, rather than all this business.

I agree with Geebee, every visit to this topic is a disappointment.

Holy shit and thank fuck for that.
We take the piss out of poor spelling but poor punctuation genuinely makes the forum hard to read.
I didn't get the reference, Steve.
