Belated April Fools ? DOH !

That has to be a Joke.
Otherwise you might want to toss in the towel, these tragic events just might happen for the rest of your life.

Or try to read the meaning behind the blasphemy.

Cheers, Tell yourself its only a Bulletin board and a fish tank, it always makes me feel better.

Great link, Invigor

I, too, have trouble understanding some posts. Some posts are by younger members who write in Internet-ese, or whatever it's called, and other posts are by members who should really know how to spell better.

Of course, this board and others like it are not English class. There will be a certain portion of posters who are excellent spellers and others who are not.

Bottom line for me is that if I don't understand what a poster is talking about with relative ease, I ignore them, no matter how much I might want to help with their reef related problems.

Gads, look at all those run-on sentences Did anyone understand what I was saying???

Really, is it all that bad, sure some use comp short lingo, but we also have some great people that may have trouble either using a keyboard or the language itself. Why not just let those that use the board keep up the good, or great info and questions and those that are concerned with poor language not respond, sure wont take any effort to help or ignore? Just a newbie wondering why this even came up.

I had a big reply typed up but hit some stupid macro and lost it all, anyways this topic is not worth typing it all up again, but I will say if you are going to stop monitoring the board just stop.. or are you trying to get everyone to beg you to stay? if thats what you want.. Please stay Bob, spelling can't be that bad, I hope you keep up with the hobby at least if you aren't going to be here.

I know we have had our differences in the past Bob, but all that aside you do bring up some good points once and a while so you probably will be missed to some degree.

anyways happy surfing

Steve

PS: I used spell check just for you and only had 1 mistake

Ok it must be the Viagra Bob is taking, honestly i dont think its the bad spelling if that was the case then no one would be here due to my bad spelling .. RIGHT Steve, and Bev....:mrgree n:

[blaster]

this is just a hobby.

I have been a member of this forum for some times,personaly i like to read & learn more rather than post.
I have read your posts in the past & i would say you have a habit of insulting people with your comments,however this last one should get you banned in my opinion.
Canada is a multicultural country,with many languages,yes many of our citizens might not be perfect in english however that does not make them any less of a canadian than you sir.
HOWEVER ,THE FACT THAT YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO USE THE WORD GOOK IN A PUBLIC CANADIAN FORUM,IS VERY MUCH UNCANADIAN.
I am not asian,but as a canadian i feel that you have insulted me & every one else here with your language & i do not think you should have the previlige of using this great forum.
Moderators & people on this site work too hard to offer us a great community,which should not be tainted by your racial comments.
