    They should add a Post of the Week award in the email and Azari should win.

    read it again its about staff getting lazy and shoving it as an official story which will be spat up in the weekly email because they can't be bothered to look around the board for the threads that are there with all the necessary information already either.

    so WHAT doesn't cover it really imho.
    whether you like that or not is another matter altogether but some of the people from this section coming to chat in beccas thread maybe all the help she needs after all thats what she has asked for is all the members help i thought the people in here would just like to come help the rest of us :rotfl:

    I understand the point of your post from the poll, but you need to use some punctuation - your posts make no sense at all.

    Yes, with the addition of the poll the OP is (just) comprehensible.

    It wasn't showing when I commented. (This is a fault of the forum software in that it does not defer displaying posts with polls until the poll is ready.)

    I can see the words but I can't seem to get them in the right order.

    Is one of the poll questions about improving the education of our own language in schools?

    Basils later reply is just as bad.

    Basil - your posts are Fawlty.

    I would personally be more inclined to take notice of something written by a person, who not only is able to punctuate, but also to spell correctly!
    Sorry Basil, I'm out.
