Yup - like discussing HP3000 issues/problems/queries because
that's why this list exists.
> So maybe I should not bother posting to this list?
No problem, just use the list etiquette ( i.e. OT so people
don't waste their time reading off topic subjects ).

Not being an 'anal freak' I'm obviously not able to discount
what you write.
This list is international, spelling and grammar never seem to
get in the way of those members of the list who do not have English
as their first language making valuable contributions to particular
threads.

Agreed.
1. I would suggest if someone has the spare time to proof read every email
they send out, they need a life. Come on - I know I have a lot better things
to do than proof my emails.
2. Spell checkers. Sure I use one. Much of what I type on this list contains
technical words, computer jargon, etc. An average email to this list will
pop out several perfectly legitimate computer terms as misspellings. While
clicking the "Ignore All" or "Add" buttons, it is pretty dang easy to hit
those buttons when I should not have.
So maybe I should not bother posting to this list? Since a bunch of you anal
freaks will discount what I say because I had some misspellings?
PS: Yes I know there are some grammatical problems with this post too. If
you grammatical freaks can't handle it, please feel free to shove this email
somewhere dark and moist.
Though I guess I should not worry about it. You won't have understood a word
I said because of the grammatical errors. Right?

Just because someone's e-mail has some spelling or grammatical errors in it
does not stop me from understanding what the sender is trying to tell me.
All those who complain about it, or are critical about it are just being
totally anal.
