ROFL.
You were irritated and put out by his use of "l8tz"?
It's hardly an integral part of the message is it?
Maybe you just need a little more experience on the net.

Gee maybe he is? He is asking for Care Bear art after all.

Again, you act like his spelling is somehow your business.

use improper english at all. That's just snobby and silly.
He didn't actually ask for anyone to draw it anyway, he just said he
needed some.
