I yearn for the days when this site wasn't filled with people trying to discredit it. Yes, TBATS was wrong, but so are those who are lowering the credibility of this site due to, either, their laziness or the fact that they're G men who want people to think that we're all idiots here.
Ah beuh Dwunk!!!
PS:This isn't aimed at the people who responded to the original message. Yes, like I've said before, I screw up, too... But, when I START a thread, I try not to make the site look dumb... or drunk.

Just wanna say i have been watching more and more programmes about space and solar systems, at first i thought it was boring but gradually i have began to like this new found knowledge i am gaining with each episode i watch, for example on T.V the was a programme called Edge of Space (i think) Planets from Hell.
It was about Scientists and astronomers searching for new solar systems and also trying to find a "Twin Earth"
All very cool stuff.

By no means am I a perfect speaker or writer. My point was that the message board loses a certain degree of credibility when every other topic title is horribly mangled. You guys are all right... I make mistakes, too, but the problem here is that basic, obvious errors in thread titles convince newcomers and people just surfing the site that all of us are under 12 years old. Instead of attracting people who can add to the discussion, such language puts us into a loop where intelligent people want to stay away from the site while others feel that there is no reason to take the time to write-out a thoughtful post.
TBATS was wrong because it wanted to exclude non-select people from ATS. However, there is a general trend, on the board, towards raw incomprehensibility. If we want ATS to retain its quality, we have to monitor ourselves. Now, I don't expect everyone to be perfect... But I would expect people to at least edit themselves and take the time to spell-check their thread titles.
