As inartful as the postings might be, it doesn't take me very long to comphrehend what Tir's saying--certainly not 5 times as long.

Suggestions to properly capitalize and punctuate are reasonable, but when made publicly seem intended as much to shame as to improve the readability of the forum.

Actually, that depends on how the suggestion is made and Graeme's request seemed reasonable enough to me. My own comment might have been harsher sounding.

Whether or not posts that lack proper punctuation and capitalization are hard to read depends directly on the length of the post and if paragraphs are used. That post of Tir's that I and Gandalf replied to was short enough that no problem, but the one before that starts getting into the difficult to read territory.

You also have to take into account that we probably also have dyslexics as members, and they might have even more difficulty than normal deciphering poorly formatted posts. That's reason enough to put enough effort to use proper grammar. Dyslexics sometimes also tend to produce poorly formatted posts, which is a possibility I acknowledge here, but I'm not going to assume it, especialy given the number of people on the net who just don't bother with proper capitalization and punctuation.
