Dear writers:

If you aren't going to have something thoroughly betaed, why not at least invest in a moment's calmness and carefully check the grammar and punctuation of the first sentence? If necessary, wait for the alcohol to leave your bloodstream and drink some coffee before doing it yourself a few times. The internet won't go away if you don't post immediately! It's more than worth it. Just imagine what a difference it makes in your first impression if you don't have egregious grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes within the first sentence!

Love,
cim

Damn your Earth logic! If I had a quarter (inflation, you know) for every time I read some variant of "not beta'ed! I just wanted to post this before I went to bed/sober up/lose my nerve/get a clue/go to the bathroom," I could buy a place at the beach!

aösldkjföad God, I hate Just Want To Post This Before ___ Syndrome. Unless it's "before the Internet gets turned off for 24 hours or more" or something like that!
