For WeLieInTheShadows and everybody else who posts in Nokia speak, who believes Nokia speak is acceptable here or who mistakenly believes that there are no rules regarding how posts are written.

At the top of the forum there is a FAQ and a request to read it before you post.
At the start of the FAQ there is this:

Posts in this forum MUST:
  • Be in English
  • Not use text message abbreviations.
  • Make sufficient use of punctuation & grammar to be readable.
  • Not be used instead of private messages.
  • Not be used to tell somebody else about a private message.
  • Have a point (i.e. be relevant to the thread and not chatter)

Many forum members do not have English as their native language ( 2 of the Mods don't) and we do not require perfect English at all. But grammar and punctuation exist in all languages, so use them.
Text message abbreviations render a posts incomprehensible to any non-native English speaker, and we don't want them here.
You don't pay per letter, this site is not a public service and if the rules don't suit you, don't participate.

Thank you.
