Is I the only one who is bothered by Storm's writing style?
To me it looks like she is channelling her thoughts directly into the post, as unstructured as they really are.
That thoughts are a jumble is a trait common to most people, I guess, but we usually try to wrote coherent.
I met a woman once who was more than mildly intoxicated by alcohol. Actually, she was so pissed out drunk she couldn't stand. Her mouth was blabbering everything she thought, as incoherent as her thoughts were. The intoxication had shorted out the filter between her brain and her mouth. Her talking was very similar to most of Storm's postings in this thread.
Storm, please make an effort structuring your posts (including grammar and punctuation). Make them more readily accessible. I'm skipping most of them because I don't have the energy trying to decode them. English is second language to some of us, and incoherent writing is a pain in the ass for us.

This last post is better than most.
When every line you type ends with "...." take that as a warning sign. Getting your post written and posted with outmost expedience should come second to good formatting. The lack of structuring in your sentences (sometimes) makes it hard to decode internal and external references.

Try rewriting this as if you were writing a script for a newsreader, or a school book or similar.

| My wtiting style Dr Mabuse is inidictive of the .... these are how I get my point across. Each statement is used to no jusr read but to contemplate what I have said. Not just toread the next sentence after the last period. Another words I use the ... as a trademark. Asort of pause, to stop and thin what I am saying. If you cannot desipher it Iam sorry but it shall be hard to change. I am not wriring for a journal or paper, merely communicating with friends... I'll try to write better if I am not such a bother to you... |

Storm, it has been repeatedly pointed out to you that you ignore (deliberately) the conventions of grammar.
The reason these things exist is to expidite communication via the written word. Everyone follows the same rules-set, and it makes sure that the symbols used to communicate mean the same thing to everyone reading them.
Your posts are, more often than not, confusing to people who's primary language is English. I can only imagine how incoherent you appear to people that use English only as a second or third language.
If you wish to communicate clearly with others then you need to use some basic sentence structure and minimal punctuation.
Leave the "..." out, or limit it to appropriate instances. It's intent, in English, is to indicate an incomplete thought. It's common use in internet chat has come to indicate confusion or sometimes stunned amazement.
If you are capable of presenting a coherent "lecture", then surely you are capable of typing in a post that can be understood by those who read it.
