You want a war I'll give you a war... ;-).

I don't pretend to be a good speller, I'm no good at the gramma stuff neither
;-).  Never have been and probably never will be.  I do try and spell check
words that I trully don't know but seeing I use the web interface many typo's
get through along with some misspelling when I am lazy.

It's not something I am proud of but, I am not ashamed of it either.  I will
admit that in my professional life I am much more careful but still not perfect
by any means.  I guess thats why I just design and code and leave documentation
up to someone else.

Gee thanks!

In general I agree but right now I have enough stress in my life to worry to
much about my penmanship on LUGNET.  I try the best I can (which isn't really
that good) but if I make a mistake I don't fret to long about it.

Very true.

Well I have flown enough to know that plane sleep does not count.  So good
night and rest well.
