Oi.... if you're going to put names to "twots" can you please be specific as to their identity? There is no member called
"scooty".
I am the closest to that... scootz!
I'm not saying I'm not a "twot", but I'm certainly not the "twot" you're referring to!
Thanks in advance!

My wife has just read it and understood exactly what he was asking.
She says he was asking if anyone has any plans ,or knows of any plans, of an off-road buggy that looks like a class 10 buggy.

Yes, and I can understand a bit of French too, but you wouldn't suggest he write in French would you.
I'm not defending the rather heavy handed reply, not something I would do, BUT if I'm new to a forum I would certainly do what I could to
make myself easily understood and not make people work for it, wouldn't you?

Im with you on that.
But why is such a big issue being made out of it.
lets see what his posts are like from now on, if he bothers to come back that is.

Exactly the point; if you want other people to help you, then you should make it as easy as possible for them to understand your problem.
I deplore txt speak on forums, it's simply the height of laziness and/or ignorance. If you are using a PC you aren't paying for each
letter you type, and your keyboard has more then 12 keys, so it's no effort to type things properly. The odd spelling mistake and typo I can
live with, everyone makes them occasionally, the difference being they are accidental rather than deliberate.

I'm on the side of making an effort to write properly too.
I nearly quoted a paragraph on this very thread that had been written by a person on the other side of the argument. It was a solid block of 6 lines
(on my widescreen) of text and was difficult to read due to the problem of finding the correct line when my eyes go from the end of one line to the
start of the next.
How much would it cost to put in some line spaces?
Nothing.
It's just thoughtlessness not to have any concern for the reader.

These last 2 posts sum up my points perfectly. It is not and never has been about picking on people for spelling and grammar...like most people mine
isn't perfect by any means.
However, if I'm asking a question I will do my very best to make it as clear and understandable as I possibly can...it's the least I can
do if I want the best response.

I saw that thread, I thought he was joking at first 
The funny/sad thing is that the people on that forum who are probably the most helpful when someone has a problem that deviates from the build manual
and the factory don't answer the phone, are the non-westy owners
