There's a different here. Omitting punctuation and capitalization is just semantics, but improperly spelling almost every word, often intentionally, is just lazy and is the reason our language is in such horrible state.

Congrats is an abbreviated form of Congratulations. "thnx" is not an abbreviation. Hell, there isn't even an "x" in "thanks".
You omitted the period in your sentence. Ironically, your correction was in itself incorrect, but you went on and made an actual mistake yourself.
I can do this all day.

Haha, wow, I've been owned even if I don't agree with what he said 
2. One of them is the reply from someone who was helped, the other is complimenting someone. If you got help from someone, surely they deserve more than "thnx."
3. I had a beer and smiley face in my post, that carries some weight in my imaginary world.
This is by far one of my favorite threads of the year just because I don't think anyone has ever called someone out for something like this online
This is ATOT, and we have common standards here. There is a reason why @aol.com addresses weren't allowed in the past for registration.

Sorry. That should be Congratulations :beer:
/thread is a commonly accepted for the end of a thread, just like QFT.
The OP had posted using the acronym, POS, and so I continued using it. By the time someone comes to my post, it's assumed that they know what it means; it was in the thread summary.
I think there is a clear difference in the person's intention when you compare posts like mine, and the ones made by covert24 in this thread. If someone wants help, we should see that they have a good intention/attitude, because it's part of being on ATOT. Every now and then we get someone who posts a thread and expects a response with a full answer right away, and replies every few minutes with some kind of stupid remark. In threads like that, people almost always chime in saying that they would have helped, but won't anymore because of the way they posted.
1. One of them starts with a capital letter, the other doesn't.
