Re: Rodd Sidney - please read!

Don:

I have no desire to participate in a flame war. However, I would like to
point out that if you intend to castigate others for their messages and
inform them that "most of the readers are adults and appreciate a
carefully composed, punctuated and thought out message," you might pay
some attention to your spelling.

Try:
"capital letters" instead of "capitol letters."
"you're giving away" instead of "your are giving away"

Some of us are just as bothered by poor spelling and grammar as you are
by capital letters.
