So am I.

I really couldn't give a fuck about your grammar, if I did, then I would
never be able to read any public forum on the Internet, all I ask is that
you make your posts easier to read.

Really? After Alan tried what I suggested I posted a follow-up. Firstly I
made some suggestions about repeating the test with slightly different
equipment, and secondly I admitted that maybe I was wrong the first time,
and that I would repeat the same test again at a later time. In fact I'm
going to get hold of an HF-8, which is very highly regarded, and get Phil
Harris to come round, and with a bit of luck the cable supplier too. I've
been a member of this list for several years now, and have done more than
my
fair share of helping.

I can. All I did was ask that you make your posts easier to read, and you
responded further down the thread with snide comments - which always seems
to be the way when people who are too lazy to write reasonably formatted
English are criticised. I realise that not everyone is a genius when it
comes to English, but it isn't that difficult to take just a little more
care over what you write to make it easier for others to read.

But you're obviously not too busy to make snide comments. All I did was ask
you to lay off on the commas.
