Well, I don't discard the rules of grammar, but when I am just typing, I am
not going to nit-pick.  I have niether the time nor the energy to proofread
my posts for grammar.  I do not think that anyone has been confused about
the meaning of my posts simply because I misplaced a comma or had a run-on
sentence.
