I try to be forgiving on conversation forums, but 'try' and 'do' are not • the

it bothers me is that I'm reading it.  Although the posts that are more
'conversation-like' don't seem to bother me, its the (frequent) long rants • and
diatribes that seem to spontaniously occur on usenet that get to me.  As • far as
I'm concerned, if you're going to rant, do it conherently, or there's no
point.                                           ^ • ---------------------------------------------------

And how long does it take to hit F7 (or whatever your spellchecker button
is)?

Whoops!  Hoist by my own petard, as it were. :)
I also noticed that I used its instead of it's, which is ironic, because that's
one of the things that bugs me when I see other people doing it.

Although, typically, one typo and one grammatical error in a post is not enough
to set me off.
Of course, now that I think of it, my second last sentence in that post could
have been worded differently, and starting sentences with 'although' is
a tricky proposition at best...(James, shut up)  Why?  (because you're picking
apart your own post)  So?  (that spoils the fun for other people)  Oh.  Sorry!

:)
