I dont mind some one correcting me if I am harsh,but on other side,I simply dont like the idea of just speaking of someones mistakes alone and blaming one whole country for the sake of one guy who does not know how to use usenet groups.If some one is making mistake,better not to reply them,so they would understand.Better way to correct some one would be to give suggestions in a soft manner,probably something like "I would rather use space after commas,please make it more legible to read" something on those lines. I would definitely know you too would not like someone commenting on you.Thats basic human nature!No one likes someone pointing their mistakes. If you feel someone should follow rules in news groups try to be polite and you can see change next time. Again repeating,I would follow any suggestions or corrections if put in proper way! I would have definitely taken things in lighter note had it been explained to me abt any mistake I made in softer tone!
