    I suppose its a sexist thing where you put the commas, but those little commas sure can change a text!

    All that aside - "a woman, needs her man, as much as a fish, needs it's bicycle".

    At least that is what my friends from the Isle* tell me!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I found the bicycle lock message frustrating because I had to read it slowly, but at least I only had to read it once.

    But as others have mentioned, some of the posts on here need to be read several times to understand them. The lack of punctuation being the primary offender.

    My challenge is making a post interesting enough to have anyone respond to it, the primary reason being my lack of knowledge of 4WDs.

    At least one of the moderators on this site would be happy if he could ban people for bad spelling and grammar.

    Or so it seems.
