At one time, I too took to heart the critical sacasms from total
strangers after posting a comment or asking a perfectly legitimate
question. For a farm girl who was use to knowing who the nice people
were and who could be a total jerk it was a reality check for me.
Another misconception was MAC users were "real people". I found out,
they are like people all over the world. Most are nice, some are those
total jerks I find every where. I guess that makes them real people. I
was kind of hoping for more than that.

For those who critique another for misspelling or sentence structure
when the question was about a hardware or software problem..., They
deserve the Pacifier Award for acting like babies. I'm wondering what
kind of life those people have?

I am a published novelist and I have tons of errors in my manuscripts
before publication. I also have errors in finished publications. The
point being, even novelists and editors make mistakes in grammar and
sentence structure where we strive to be perfect.

Please keep in mind the question when someone posts to the list. If they
want a grade on handling their English, I'm sure they will ask a
professional not a computer list. Being nice doesn't hurt. In fact, it
feels quite good. And if you just can't handle being nice and ugly is
hanging out all over, step in the shower until it washes off the ugly.

Write me personally if you have something caustic you need to reply
with. Don't post it on the list. I always add my email address. I'm all
over the net if you care to use your search engine, and I really have a
cavalier attitude about sarcasm now.
always,
