I can kind of understand why folks appreviate words - but adding ##### all over the place? How does that make a sentence more readable? #stupid. #wasteoftime #dontunderstand.

Am I missing something here? What's next? Communicating in bleeps and other computer noises?

Getting off my soapbox,

None of these things bother me. On the other hand, network or server crashes do.

Keep smiling.
