Hey, lighten up you guys. <g>
Sam, if you think the public grammar/spelling reprimands cause unnecessary
psychic damage, (which they don't - at least in my case) what might be the
effect of your critical remark ? While I agree that an off-list comment may
be more tactful, the on-list comments serve to remind ALL of us to at least
TRY a little bit more.
Bernie, hmmm. what can I say ? Protest away. Cheer down.
BTW, upon re-reading this I found I had spelled grammar wrong AGAIN !
