Posts like these make me want to kill kittens...
Really though, "blatantlydan", your posts read like "blatantlycrap" and until you learn to use follow proper grammar and spelling practices, not many people will want to listen to you or help you. I would suggest re-writing what you are trying to say, and maybe someone will be able to understand you. Good luck.

I'd appreciate it if you made these requests with the least modicum of courtesy and respect, Omikron. Do you say that kind of thing to people with funny accents when you meet them on the street? Do you want me to start critiquing YOUR English?

No vector, you're completely right. I screwed up. I'm somewhat used to visiting other Internet forums where the bulk of the readership is comprised of people who have no idea how to put together a sentance or two. I was running on no sleep at the time, and I did not take care in noticing that most of the language that *I* may have considered "poor" was mostly because it was written in a different dialect. Although I should have chosen a better way of expressing it, I still maintain that the original posts were poorly written, and did not flow well. If the post had been written with the use of basic capitalization and grammor, I would have been able to read past the dialect and understand what was being said.
To blatantlydan:
I apologize for disrespectfully criticizing your post.
To the rest of the readership:
I apologize for those that I have offended. I know that I am new here and I have not made a good impression with my post. I will take care not to make the same mistake again in the future.

I suspected that was your background, which is something I understand well. I also don't disagree that the original posts could certainly have been easier to read.
But the internet has a funny way of making people forget that people are people, if you get my drift. And one's use of language is the web equivalent of one's personal appearance -- you can't really ignore it and it certainly makes an impression on you, but it's only peripherally related to the person behind it, so you're expected to try and look past it... or at least pretend you are.
No hard feelings.
