Dear David,
I can certainly empathize with you!
I run a List for Blind Chess Players, only about 70 something members, but I
cannot understand why some folks take advantage of any opportunity to pick
on something that is so petty!
I mean, just give me a break!
And it discourages some from posting to our list when this happens.
Strange, I see this happen a lot on list groups!
Please understand we list owners are all in the same boat David, no matter
what the subject material.
And thanks so much for what you, the Mods, and all the fine folks contribute
on this list!
Especially for we "Technically Challenged" folks.
What would we do without you all!
With Best Regards,
Alan

You are quite correct but at least the meaning of my message was perfectly
clear, as so were those who enjoyed making some fun at my expense. Some
days
I just don't enjoy doing this.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one
up
too.

It's always been my experience that a spell-checker doesn't pick-up a word
which is pronounced the same as another word, but is spelled differently
and
has a different meaning. Examples are: there their, and patience patients.
Correct me if I'm
wrong. Jo

Speaking of spell-checker,
I think it failed you,
Example;
Clew;C L E W
The correct should be,
Clue; C L U E.

Do you really want to get in to this with me?

When they turn the pages of history, when these days have past long ago,
will they read of us with sadness or the seeds that we let grow?

First off subject lines need to be more carefully monitored and changed
when
appropriate. Second I wish to draw your attention to the fact that there
are
at least 2 free spell checking programs for Outlook Express on the
programs
page and I encourage those of you who haven't availed yourselves of such
an
animal to obtain and use one.
I know that English is not the primary language for many of you on here
but
the fact is for most it is and sad to say reading some messages I can't
tell
if some of you have even heard of the English language or not, no matter
if
it is supposed to be your main method for communication.
Please take more care in composing your messages to the list, there have
been some recently that I didn't even gather a clew what the purpose for
sending it was I am sorry to say.
I'm not trying to be critical, think of this as friendly advice from the
guy
who has to read everything that comes across these lists, have mercy in
other words. Also before I forget to mention I learned Italian at the
same
time I learned English as a little boy, so if I can do it the rest of you
sure can match my minor skill level in grasping sentence structure and
trust
me I never go without a spell checking program on any system I own.
David Ferrin
Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the
ones
that mind don't matter.
