This being an Internet forum maybe "Postel's Law", as formulated in RFC 760 ("Internet Protocol"), should be applied to the reading and writing of forum posts:

Quote:
In general, an implementation [that means you, dear reader – S.] should be conservative
in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior. That
is, it should be careful to send well-formed datagrams, but should
accept any datagram that it can interpret (e.g., not object to
technical errors where the meaning is still clear).
Cheers
Steffen.
