Linda and all We have already explained this twice, we aren't talking minor errors which we all make. We're talking about major errors which, although unintentionally, mislead people.
I simply don't understand why people insist on making a huge issue out of this; it wasn't meant nastily. In fact, I would have thought that those reading error-prone messages would have been frustrated even more by the false search results. I'll say this just once more. It wasn't meant in any way personally, nastily or vindictively. It was a simple request for major, and I stress that, major errors to be watched out for. After all how would it feel if you were looking for something and I sent you to an entirely inappropriate website such as a porn site. That actually happened recently to one member as a result of somebody's entirely unintentional typo on the list. Of course, it was an accident nobody is in any way disputing that. We all make errors. All I'm advocating here is a little more care when typing links or addresses. We are not blasting people in any way nor are we criticising. People make errors, that's human nature. But sometimes major, and I stress that again, major errors do more harm than good.

By sending this email to everyone on the list it comes across as if you are berating (yes, berating) us for mistakes I suspect only a few have made . 2. . If a email is so badly typed that most of the words are nonsense, why not save yourself a lot of frustration and the rest of us the inconvenience of redding emails that don't apply to us by sending this email OFF LIST to whoever it actually applies to. Speaking for myself, I certainly would not be offended if I had sent a unreadable email out and you pointed it out to me off list.
