Interesting. I notice this thread has gradually shifted from being about emails to being about text messaging, and not sure if people noticed, maybe that explains the apparent crossed wires? It's news to me that full stops are considered rude, but then I don't have a mobile phone. I chat a lot on facebook though, and on MSN before that (with people in many countries, half of them in spanish). Always in...sentences, with full stops. Maybe text chat is a third thing, different to both texting on a phone and email? I don't know. I'd never have suspected a full stop could be rude until reading this thread though!
