Kevin, Obviously, Rachael thought your suggestion was a good one, and for what it's worth, so do I. I have been wanting to write such a message to this list for a while now. But, if you criticize, you should be prepared to accept constructive criticism when you don't proofread your own message in which you ask others to proofread. What you got was a gentle ribbing, a reminder for us all to take a good hard look at our own actions before riding other people. Finally, to drag this thread, kicking and screaming, back on topic, it's very obvious when someone is using a BT or QT keyboard if they don't proofread and/or spell-check. In three separate messages, you wrote the letter "m", when you meant to write "ck". This is blatantly a BT error. I know, I'm criticizing you again, but I don't intend to be cruel, and it's definitely something to look out for should you be writing a really important document in which you want to sound as well-spoken as possible. This is just one of the reasons I will never, if I can help it, do extensive typing on a BT keyboard. While I do make plenty of mistakes on my QT, (I just proofread exhaustively so no one has to see them), I make many more mistakes on a BT keyboard.
Just some thoughts from your friendly rock-dweller, back into hiding I go!

You are still able to get what I was trying to say because I used the same word again in the email message. And, I am also talking about when people make it so bad that spell chem would catch it and wouldn't know what it is--being completely off. And, if you really think that my suggestion was a lousy one and you prefer to read emails that are hardly readable, then don't take this seriously.
