p.s. And count me in with the majority. Refusing to answer a question until someone corrects their spelling and grammar mistakes seems more than a little pedantic and self-defeating. Is it incumbent upon the person with the questioning post to make their best efforts to communicate clearly? Of course. But for those that choose to provide an answer, it is also their responsibility to provide a useful, responsive and supportive reply that provides added value. Anything else is just noise.
