Assuming your goal is to have people read what you write, you owe it to
yourself to do the best possible job of convincing people do to so. Proper grammar and punctuation, running your post through a spell checker, separating your sentences into coherent paragraphs, using a uniform format for prose and lists are not
required to make a correct point, but they make it easier for people to digest your posts, and therefore increase the chance they'll read it and take it seriously. To illustrate: this post took me 15 minutes to write, and it's just 4 ****ing sentences.
(I'm not saying wade has or hasn't done these things, this is just a general 'how to succeed at forum posting'.)
