I think people don't want to admit that their internet correspondence is worth some courtesy because that would be somehow dorky, or it would reveal a dependence on the computer...okay, basically what the other commenters said. So.
Word, not wanting to admit computer people are real for fear of getting jerked around is weakness.
Now there's a thought. And it does resonate with the 'courtesy is wishy-washy/soft' thread that I keep seeing. *shakes head* And, of course, that's just self-perpetuating. *sighs*
