Revision 101 (Grammar and Spelling): Actually, I don't think your question
was a stupid one either. I agree it's not a topic discussed on the JSP
listserve, but it is definitely not a stupid question! In fact, I would like
to know the answer myself. I hope I don't get flamed by that same person,
because I am not a stupid.person. :-)
Actually if you are going to defend your intelligence, do so in a way that
does not make you look stupid. (Just trying to help) :-)
