Amongst a lot of "I'm so much smarter than you" posturing, he commits the most grave news insult of all - correcting a non english speaking person's grammar. Please Mr. Sherman, before you post again, do the following:- 1. Ensure that your arguments are relevant and not simply quips. 2. Before you criticise (sic - I'm a European too) the way others express themselves look at their addresses. 3. If you find on analysis that you really don't have anything sensible to say - forget it.

Sort of like the rules >against exporting technology to the commies. No, the latter is pure DoD paranoia, the first strongly depends on the intonation of the message with spelling correction. And who want's to 'get better' by being offended by some know-it-all anyhow? Do you want me to teach you Dutch or Swahili? ***** ZPELLING FLAME ***** :-) 8^) > >-- >Regards, > >Ron House.
