It isn't a matter of whether it's forbidden or not, its a matter of
whether you want someone to bother taking time out to help you. If you
post in a style that pisses people off then they are not going to bother
reading any posts by that said person, pure and simple. Ok, there seems
to be the odd masochist around, but in general, if you don't take time
to prepare an easy to read post why should anybody take time to help
you?
