True, but the thing is 'minimum standards' is a fairly subjective thing and a lot of it comes down to tolerance.
By profession I am a writer and broadcaster, but when I'm posting on IIS I bring an entirely different set of standards and expectations.
I tend to type faster just to get the ideas out. I'm not really thinking much about grammar etc
I tend to write on forums more in a spoken word style.
It's my feeling that demanding too much in terms of grammar, punctuation etc will end up being intimidating to many people who are really here for friendship and to exchange ideas and so forth rather than penning the great Australian novel.
Anyway, that's just my opinion and you know how the old saying goes about opinions
