Apparently there are many on this group who can't see that this topic was never a matter of spelling nor is it appropriate for this group. I privately replied to Paul with a request to please avoid the grammatical redundancies he was using, that's it. No spelling complaints at all and he chose to bring the whole private exchange to this group, a stupid move on his part and it's a shame some can't see that but instead have to jump in and stir the pot. This topic has nothing to do with the subject matter of this group so let's get back to Repeater Builder topics. Gary I, myself, personally, think thee doth protest too much. Face it, the pot that was stirred was one that called the kettle black. What's even funnier is that you are simply incorrect. The expression, I, myself, is not redundant at all. The "myself" lightens the gravity of an expression, intentionally making it more tentative and less authoritative. It relieves the listener of any sense of obligation to agree or, for that matter, to disagree. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
