Question:
Why do people seem to have a difficult time posting complete questions?
I'm not trying to be offensive, or anything. But, dang! How difficult is it to type a complete question??? Perhaps, we should only type partial answers? LOL — PaulaJ (posted on October 16, 2009)

Wow. Does it really affect you that bad? I mean to the point you had to
make a question about it? Maybe some people aren't good with words, heck
some may not even know what a complete sentence is. Chill! Or get a hobby.

Are you going to start grading us on grammar and spelling as well?

Gosh, one time i hit enter instead of space and it posted an incomplete
question. does that make me a complete idiot? i guess when you are perfect,
the trivial things like this might bug you. thank God the people who have
answered my questions were imperfect like me. So, do you have any serious
questions to ask or are you just here to judge as this question doesn't
have anything to do with any aspect of WLS.

Maybe some people do not put a whole sentence because they want people to
read their question. By just putting a word it might make people interested
to see what the question is.

Personally I think that a question that asks for precise information is
easiest to answer. For example to ask, "What will Blue Cross require
for me to be approved for RNY surgery?" Is an impossible to answer
question, if the user asked "What will Blue Cross of Calif, PPO plan
require for me to be approved for RNY surgery?" is answerable. Without
all the information people are just guessing and could most likely give you
inaccurate information.

It is better when they give a complete thought so you know if you can help
them. Soem people are not as good with computers and so you just have to
accept it.

I know what you mean. I get embarrassed for people who use "Loosing
weight" instead of "losing weight" or use all caps. If US
literacy was judged by the posts here, 60% of the population is learning
disabled. Hmmm...maybe that's true!

Like I said, I wasn't trying to be offensive and I wasn't trying to be the
punctuation or grammar police. LOL I just had hoped to make people
realize that they are likely to get more answers to their questions if they
complete a whole thought in their question. And the answers that they get
will most likely be more accurate, too.
Again, in the first line of my post....I said that it was NOT my intention
to be offensive. Perhaps, some out there are a little too gung ho to find
something to be offended about. Geez!

Paula, I took no offense to your statement. I believe it would be helpful
if the person asking the question would state the type of surgery they had
or intend to have, also. I think the content of the question is more
important than the spelling.

This is my first post. I'm actually somewhat intimidated by the strong
feelings that seem to come out on this "support group". I know
that I need to reach out, but it's hard sometimes. Paula, I think you were
perfectly nice and made a good point...designed simply to make the Q and A
more helpful. It is much easier to respond if all details are given,
whether in sentence form or not. I know everyone has different computer
skills, grammar, etc. and that's fine-isn't the whole thing about be
accepting? Please be kind everyone, it's easy to read things into posts or
email that touch something off within yourself. I hope everyone has a
wonderful day and a great journey, and feels free to ask for help along the
way!

Paula makes a good point. I didn't take her request as judgemental. There
have been times when I wasn't sure exactly what a person was asking.
