All this just proves that hams can spin a long conversation out of 
almost any topic.

Personally, I have given up trying to correct people's grammar, syntax, 
and spelling on the 'net.  It is a thankless and never-ending job.  TT 
is a linguistic paragon compared with lots of the more popular 
discussion groups.  Mostly it's us OF's who were taught right!

What _really_ bugs me is that too many folks just 'reply' to articles in 
TT and include the original long message ad nauseam.  What a waste of 
bandwidth and bytes!  Please, just quote the parts you're replying to 
and delete the rest.

That's my piece for the day.
