Not sure who the "you" in this message is supposed to be, but it does not sound like that party is on this forum.\n\nYou'll have to send your complaint to the right channel, this is not the place.\n\nGood luck!

Windows ME is the worst windows ever made... Seriously. Are you sure it's solely the messenger's fault? I'd look for spyware and viruses as well... But you never know.

I hate less all the time.  It gets easier and easier to become forgiving as time goes on if you get on that track.  I don't think I was ever particularly hateful but now the only thing I seem to hate is hate itself, and when people chew with their mouth wide open or panic.

You know many things had happened to me through text msgs.....I've been called a bitch.....and an asshole dared to tell me "I've seen better".......and after that he keeps staring at me, and stalking me......so you see....text messages are very bad....\n\nWell, sometimes people do it through email, text messages, because they don't have the guts to tell you in person....Once I was dumped through the phone, that sucked as well.....Some guys are cowards, well I guess some girls do that too sometimes! Some people use that method because they think that you're probably going to throw things at them or make a scene in public or something like that....That's why is safer for some people to just do it through a text message! Or some people just do it because they're jerks! Sorry about tellin you about my "experiences," I didn't have better examples! Don't worry, a person that does something like this is not worth it...They're not even worth talking about!

What is your message and who is it for?

Absolutely. I don't know if I'm just prematurely cranky, a born curmudgeon, or just value being able to read a post without resorting to crypanalysis, but I can't stand the little murders committed on our language ten-thousand times a day on Yahoo Answers.\n\nThis so called SMS language may have a place in the lives of people sending text messages to one another over cellular phones, but anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them should use it.\n\nI don't mind the obvious typo or the posts made by clearly dyslexic people, but the indecipherable gibberish posted by most of the users on these forums is shameful.\n\nI'm assuming that most of these offenders are still in school. I have been given the excuse that their young minds are so hungry for information that they simply don't have the time to use complete words, proper grammar, or bother to check their spelling as they type.\n\nI cry foul! There is no excuse. The only way for an interaction between two humans to remain successful is if clear communication exists between the parties involved. When people don't understand each other, they start to throw punches and eventually the guns come out.\n\nThat may be an exteme example, but Yahoo Answers is nothing, if not a microcosm of a society which values the free exchange of information. \n\nIf we don't understand each other there will be flames, sarcasm, and eventually, a break down of the system.\n\nThis would hardly be the first time that poor communication doomed an otherwise good idea to an early grave.\n\nWhat I'm saying, kids, is that you should learn to use the language. It's the most important tool you have and it deserves more respect than it is shown around here.\n\nADDED DETAILS: Response to Petra:\n\nLack of an education is no excuse. Everyone in this country is entitled to a free ride through school until twelfth grade. Even the worst school system in the most depressed region of the poorest state will teach a person how to form a sentence and put forward their ideas. It's not the lack of education that is the problem. It's the lack of initiative on the recipients of said education.

Yes, its annoying.\nBut its great when someone sends you a private message to tell you how much they apreciated your answer.

I totally agree.  Not only can you give the answer a "thumbs down" and "hide" the message, you can report the person and usually their comment will be removed without you having to say anything to them.

Just like any other ways of communicating, it could be better or worse. E-mail, cellphones, IM, and other new communication technologies are very convenient -- this way it's better than a hand-written letter sent by a horse-riding mailman. Communication and its goodness does not depend mostly upon how you communicate, but upon the person you are communicating with. Worse people, even with best communicating skills and technologies are making communicating either by any means worse as well. I hope that made sense.

Disinterest in the elegant subtleties of written communication, I am afraid.\n\n<sigh>
