Hi, LATX. Welcome. As you can sense from the first response above, the culture here is somewhat intolerant of phonetic and short-script texting-type messages. We all type out in long hand for the sake of courtesy for those many of us older guys who don't text.
I'll go have a look at your site. I hope you can stay and enjoy yourself here. We're a good bunch of guys who seem to get along famously...unlike some other forums.
Im only 20, and even his post is hard for me to read... lol I text message alot, but i dont abbreviate things because I have a keyboard phone... If someone sends me a text that has a bunch of abbreviation in it, i tell them to retype it and send it to me again or im not texting them back lol
LATX, take some time and type things out without using abbreviations, alot of the guys and gals (myself included) here dont like to read the way you have written your first post, it makes you have to think about what is being read.
O im sorry I was saying I am limited to using my sidekick ID ( basically a sidekick 2) for use of the internet and it that phone have a limited text lettering my apologies right now I am using my fiance sidekick 09 to redo my last post. Im 25 and im sorry if I offened anyone
Agreed, no one is offended. But ethically, and somewhat self-serving, we do try to be up front and accurate/honest with each other, and certainly welcome newbies that way so they know what they are getting into.
I don't know what a sidekick is, unless we are in a karate dojo.

No apologies needed LATX, you havnt offended anyone here, its just nice to read a post without having to process it and think about what you are reading
