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?

He kept whining "but I have a thing, and I'm a really bad speller!"
For me, if you preface what you're going to say with "I have a thing", I'm all good. But "I'm a really bad speller" alone? Spell check: created for a reason.

And that was me just there. Go me with the not logging-in.
