Let me introduce myself: I'm a programmer, and computer tech. I am anal about everything that goes on, on my computer. I don't like when it does things without my consent, much less without the curtesy of an alert. I spent 3 month beating windows into submission, and now that I've "upgraded"...

I'm sick and tired of seeing post after post with improper grammar, spelling, run on sentences and punctuation. This is supposed to be our future. How can one be the future with out having the basic skill sets of education. Just alone on those bad merits, I just want to delete the post and ban...
