I see it a lot in the newsletter, and now it's in massive red letters at the top of the forum. Using "txt"-style abbreviations looks very unprofessional - surely it doesn't take that long to type "please" instead?
Sorry, if it sounds like I'm nitpicking, but I always feel that if you're trying to get a serious message across, this sort of things can really undermine it. Am I alone in this view?
