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?

Being I usually am at work, I don't have a lot of time to really pay attention and proof what I am saying. So I usually take the situation the person is writing under into consideration. Also like the person above said I see LJ as a diary so I am not picky for proper sentence structure and whatnot.

I agree. LJ as a diary definitely has an impact on my reading.
