I want to first say that I'm sorry I indirectly contributed to starting this thread. In no way was I making fun of Will or poking at him. I actually appreciate his enthusiasm - it's kind of refreshing. Realising that he was younger, and probably hasn't bought MS Word yet (to add spell checking to Outlook), I thought I would point out my favourite, free, spellchecker. Will, if you were insulted by my comment, I apologise. While I side with Shawn on the importance of grammar and spelling in e-mails, it really doesn't matter, nor does it change what I personally think of you. Now to bring this back to Macs (at least a little) I'm going to take issue with Mark's comment that I quoted at the start. Back when I was a newbie on the Quadlist, I got a lot of help, advice and pointers from the long-term users on the list. One of the reasons I've remained loyal to Macs was some of those first experiences there. I was impressed at the feeling of community, and the helpfulness of more experienced users. In appreciation of that, and to repay the "debt" I owe those folks, I've kept on several lists, trying to help people out where I can. I think you'll find quite a few people on various Mac lists feel the same way. So Mark's comment might be true in other places, but I think on Mac lists, the general feeling I have is that we are helping each other, and contributing to our community.
