If you want to dance on the head of the pin suggesting that you never actually said what you clearly inferred, then so be it. What you specifically said... "Have you considered poorfraeding your posts before sending them? It will catch most of the things the spelling checker can't. HTH, HAND." No matter how much you endeavor to soften it up now that it is out there, it was hostile, uncalled for and arrogant. I know how things like that happen because it sometimes happens to me. I write an e-mail, go back and change some of the wording without fully proofreading it yet again and the grammar which was probably acceptable when I typed the stream of conscious thought, got gnarled. Hardly worth the many e-mails, defensiveness and divisiveness that your posting engendered. Clearly Ed proofreads his messages - that is why he corrected himself in the first place. Even if he didn't proofread his messages, is it worth humiliating him by suggesting that he do so?
