Since it seems to be fine to 'flame' other users for little things such as
capitalization and minor spelling errors that might be lost in language
translation, which has no perfect english output (it's always worded
differently from "normal"), I would like to request that if people have so
much time to fuss over something so trivial as this, they put it to a more
constructive use. In fact, having their message translated to english seems
to me to be a thoughful act, seeing as how the majority of the list receivers
do in fact speak English.
Now that I have used up more bandwidth, and have taken up the list's time
(again)......... I am going to sign off.
