Re: grammar
With all due respect to houxf!sam, it is imperative that those who [pretend]
to be professionals act in professional ways.  This includes having impeccable
grammar/spelling when writing.  Maybe you don't think correspondence on this
network corresponds to writing, but I don't have a voice output unit on my
machine.  I have to READ this stuff that comes in and I find in distracting
and sometimes annoying to fine grammatical and spelling anomalies in the
material.
Your ability to communicate well is part of your image.  If you can't blow
your horn in tune, people notice.  Are you so secure that you think it doesn't
matter what you look like to others?
