    'helping your Uncle, Jack, off a horse' or 'helping your uncle jack off a horse'

    Bad punctuation I can live with. What is a major annoyance though is the lengthy posts with no breaks for paragraphs. All you are getting is line after line after line of words.

    This makes it difficult to read and in most cases I don't bother and move onto the next post.

    Sounds like a font problem that I'll have to fix because its so annoying.
