Does Punctuation Matter?

I have recently returned to WoL and have started reading some of the work being produced by poets I haven't seen before. What is immediately apparent is the number of pieces with no punctuation at all, which in my mind makes them more difficult to read and interpret the writer's intent. I probably am a bit of a pedant, but surely some people might see my point? Editing your work is also a bugbear of mine. Any thoughts?

I’m afraid I’m a bit of a Puritan in that regard, Robert. I soon give up reading.
