Rule #1:  Don't be a moron and criticise someone else's punctuation and
spelling in a public forum.  If the intent and meaning was clear enough to
you to know what they meant in the first place, it was 99.9% likely clear
to everyone else as well.

Rule #2:  If you're -going- to be a complete idiot and abandon Rule #1,
actually have the accuracy yourself to be in a position to criticise.
"Uncle's, "over-the-counter," "BUT when I saw how,", a complete sentence in
the form akin to, "It's not CB. *laugh*," all are corrections of your own
flawed sentence and word structure.  There's a comma missing after, "Oh by
the way,", and a couple other things that are debatable without my going
back to actual textbooks to verify them.  Now that we know you live in a
glass house, you want to put the rocks down?

Can't you just leave things alone without turning it into a p*$$ing
contest, Smitty?  Obviously that's rhetorical, since the obvious answer 
is, "No."

Bests,

The List Fairy

PS - Don't think that's gone unnoticed.  Your weak rationalisation of what
that supposedly means was just that--pathetically weak and transparent
to anyone with an IQ over 60.  Glad to see even Brian (with whom I oft
disagree, to the point I only see quoted text of his in replies because
I plonked him a while back) even sees and acknowledges it as such, and
it's not just any paranoia on my part.  But you know, you're welcome to
as -much- rope as you want.  I know what my grandfather always said about
giving people plenty of rope, and I enjoy the show you put on in that
respect.  Keeps my entertainment budget down.  Call me what you like.  At
least you -have- a G-Rated, publicly printable term for what you think of
me; I can't say the same in reverse. :)

PPS - I can just see you lamely latching on to the use of "criticise" as
a misspelling.  I'll derail you right now by telling you It's the British
spelling.  Many to most British variants use an 's' instead of a zed.  I've
tried getting clarification of the exact rule by which this happens.  A
Pommie seemed to give the most accurate summation to date, in lieu of an
accurate rule and its exepctions:  "If there's a zed present, it's because
a Yank decided to put it there."
