But seriously, thats the attitude of someone living in Narre Warren (Bogun suburb, and ex home of our favorite party thrower), definitely  a suburb worthy of extinction.

Or a Vogon suburb :-P

I hope your five year old is learning to write better English than you have.  And yes, I am going to be pedantic about this because the situation is appalling; I believe  recent generations are slaughtering the English language.

First off, what is "r@@ted" and "@ss"?  Do you mean "rooted" using the at-sign as an "o", thus giving "oss" as well?   Or perhaps you meant "raated" and "ass," using the at-sign as an "a".

Secondly, the contraction for "you are" is "you're", not "your" which shows ownership.  As in "you're crazy" or "you're making facts out of your opinions," etc.

Other than that, you make a compelling argument. As much as those minor issues have grated my nerves, you have piqued my interest.  I for one am curious to observe for myself the differences in Amiga hardware markets.

And for those who throw up their (not "there" nor "they're") arms in disgust when reading a post like mine, where do we draw the line?  At what point do we say enough is enough?  Communication is of paramount importance to our species, and yet few seem to care if communication is done properly.

 I would just like to say one more thing. Dont bring my son into this argument about writing better English. Bringing innocent children into an argument is just not right and will only piss lots of people off. I only mentioned him in my post because of how delighted i am to watch him use my Amiga which was one of my very first computers (well first 32bit computer anyway as my first was a Commodore Vic20 back in 1985 which i still have). I did not buy a PC till early 2001.

Regardless of your intentions, you did throw him into the mix.  Your delight is irrelevant.  My statement was directed squarely at you, and I will not have my words twisted to look like I attacked your son.

Don't be too pedantic about peoples grammar on these message boards as there are greater issues that people have to face in everyday life such as interest rate rises and the ever growing cost of food and petrol. As long as we all know what we are talking about here, nothing else should matter.

This logic does not even dignify a response.  None the less, I have to point out that having "other things" to worry about does not make an issue any less relevant or important.  There are few valid excuses for poor writing skills, generally reserved for the super-intelligent or the mentally retarded whose brains are simply not "wired" for written communication skills.

I would like to think that you do not fall under the mentally retarded category and, given your arguments, you do not fall under the super-intelligent category, either.  You are just a regular Joe like anyone else.
