Gilles-

I think the people complaining don't want to wade thru the "mis-spelling"
posts.
The people posting mis-spellings are doing it (apparently) as part of some
Friday joke-post tradition.

I don't think anyone is asking people not to post if they can't spell (at
least I hope not).
I mis-spell a lot just because I can't type!

I'd hate to see people from Quebec, Netherlands, Germany , Norway et al
leave because
of the noise level!

Spellcheckers are marginal at best; I think ; besides anyone should be able
to post to this list on the basis of Vanagon-itis, not computer proficiency.

a bientot

Frank.
