Tim NewcombThat every board like this establishes its own level of formality with language. New posters should notice and try to respect the existing conventions.
Look at the messages on this board. No one here (literally NO one) uses "u" to mean "you" and similar internet usages. I like to think it's because posters on this board appreciate the language and enjoy using it well.
I think I speak for most board habitues here. We would gently request that if you're going to post here, you use recognizable words rather than these half-literate shortcuts. There are plenty of other internet boards where you can indulge in that, if it's so important to you.
Concerning your money order question, it has been answered quite adequately by previous replies. Sure, m.o.s should get quick delivery, but that doesn't necessarily mean five minutes after they arrive. Seth Nagdeman is well liked and respected by everyone here, and your sarcastic follow-up even after he wrote you a courteous note does not add to your credibility, frankly.
Free advice: be a little patient, and have the courtesy to write out the words.
Am I right, folks??
