Oh please... let's not start this... 1) we all make mistakes occasionally,
especially if you read my article ;-) and 2) this is certainly NOT the
newsgroup to do so. Maybe there's an English or grammer newsgroup??

Here's a bit from 

             "A Primer on How to Work With the USENET Community"

> Spelling Flames Considered Harmful

> Every so often a plague descends on the net called the spelling flame.
> It starts out when someone posts an article correcting the spelling or
