Judging by appearances

Just curious - personally, the use of netspeak turns me off like no one's business. I'm not referring to grammar, as I trample it gleefully on a daily basis, but simple sentence construction, punctuation, capitalization, and the "ur" thing. When it comes to casual interactions (Myspace, LJ, AIM, e-mails) if you're in the middle of "first contact" what's your take on what you're reading?

Young kids get a pass. But only just. I expect my brother to use proper English when he's IMing me, or he gets to talk to the hand.

Hee. Guys trying to hook up with netspeak. It's like those guys that compliment your boobs and wonder why you don't take up their offer of a date.
