Sorry, my reply was to the last message from "shiny protector"
Hello Mr. Ward, I absolutely disagree with the idea that you have told us about the proofreading guideline. We should implement the idea, because if we do not implement the said idea you are talking about, more messages with poor grammar, punctuation and spelling may be sent fourth to people and this mailing list. I, myself, may not be perfect in my writing, but my writing is extremely satisfactory these days. My point is, even if people find the guideline highly insulting or highly agitating, the guideline should still be implemented into the guidelines for the audyssey list.
