 Subject:  Re: Non-English native language speakers/ Be firmList thread.  
  
 Date:  Feb 28, 2008
 From:  Marc Brandes 
I see the same thing hapening on fe Missing Links.
Someone posts a question that is so unclear that the first few replies are just about what the poster means.

I say delete it. Spacing and using interpunction have little to do with not being a native speaker. All languages use spaces between words and full stops at the end of a sentence after all.
If you're a native speaker, than it's just bad manners to use sloppy spelling, in my opinion.

Further more, if someone isn't able to write in a decent way, is he/ she able to read the answers to their post?

Just my 2 cnts from The Netherlands,

Marc Brandes
