The strange thing is that the post will be answered by several readers with no mention of the poor writing.
Some don't recognize the poor writing themselves because of their own poor language and writing skills, and others look at these flawed attempts at communication as ok as long as the real meaning of the post is understood.
What I am beginning to wonder about is what percentage of Audiogon members speak (or write) english as a first language.
All we can do is guess at that answer. My thought is that probably 75% of Audiogon members speak and write English as a first language, the rest are ESL (English as a Second language).
