There's a certain Ford Truck list that boooted one of the members off the list because the list owner was displeased with the member's spelling and punctuation. The member was a professional over-the-road trucker and a knowledgeable mechanic, but didnt get very good grades in English, I guess. I personally never had any trouble reading the guy's posts and didnt see what all the fuss was about. If I have a question about carburetors, all I care about is how much you know about carburetors, not whether you spell the word right. DK Who got A's in English but is a lousy mechanic.
