IM Related Pet Peeves

[10x]

Forum members that POST IN ALL CAPS. When you and other members politely inform the new member that on the internet all caps is YELLING and socialy unacceptable the new member replies IN ALL CAPS.

YEAH. I KNOW!!!!

When long time members quote others, but place the quote after other members members comments. It causes me to scroll down to the bottom of the long time member's post to see what/who they are replying to. Why do they do that when no one else in the forum does that? Is it because they are from a country that reads from the bottom > up? If that is the reason why they do that even though they are on a native U.S. speaking forum - are they intentionaly disregarding forum protocol? Is that person also the same type of person that does not wipe their feet when they visit someones home?

Wut? Give an example. Are you talking about quoting a previous post and your answer is first and then the quoted part is at the bottom?

I hate when marketers push the flavor of the month and every month that thing is THE thing that you MUST have or you might as well quit.

Like:

January: If you don't have an email list you will fail so buy this new email list thingamajig. It's the most important part of your business. 

February: The most important part of my business by far is my membership site. Without it I would be out of business. So, buy the new membership script.

March: If you aren't running Facebook ads you are missing the boat. I don't see how anyone can be in business without them these days. So, buy the new FB widget.

It gets tiresome and those people get ignored sooner than later. 

I'm not against people trying to sell me stuff. I'm not against getting daily emails--some of my favorite newsletters come daily or more often. But I hate people thinking I'm a moron and treating me as such. All three of those things (and the other 942 most important things) are important perhaps. Some are vital. Some will cause you to go out of business. But not every one every single month!
