AOF:

The people who are asking you about a spell checker probably got their
software (windows) with the computer. Or, they have purchased expensive
microsoft office, works, etc and it gave them the ability to incorporate
their spell checker directly into outlook express.

You, apparently, do not have that ability or have purchased the expensive
software just to gain spell check.

Am I close to correct?

You refuse to use a spellchecker.

yes I do

That makes you a voluntary idiot.

no it makes me at worst stuborn

You want me to spend time and energy on what you want?

You are a fool if you think you can bully me into doing your will


One becuase it is made as a demand

Two, becuase in sending a message to someone that does not want to
recieve it it takes special action. Have you not heard that the man
that will not listen to the shout may strain to hear the wisper. Other
are efectively shoutin gth message, in making Stevie and other strain
for it you also make em think about it, It is simply one more tool in
the aresenal

Three, It take alot of time and effort

Four in going and On about the message they help to reach the real
audience which is the lurker gruop out there

In the NoCode movements various people are taking various parts My
message gets out there well enough to suit me, but every voice need not
reach all the listeners

Five producing prefectly correct spelling (I went to trouble for awhile
some years back) will not stop the flaming from Stevie and Dave, and I
prefer the flavour of these flames to the others I have seen

BTW I am totaly convinced that Stevie understand better than 95%, his
complaints of Giberish are too well placed against the center of my
arguements to beleive otherwise, that with the fact that the degree to
which folks seem to have problems with my depends directly on the
degree to which they oppose my ideas also leads me to conclusion I am
comunicating quite well indeed

Any questions? You are being polite so I will try and answer you

But why be so stubborn about using a spell checker? Is your ego more
important than your message? In every communications class that I have ever
been involved in, the instructors taught that it is the message that is
important. It is the responsibility of the person wanting to communicate
that message to be sure it is sent in a manner that the audience can
understand. If your audience tunes out because of the extra effort to read
or listen to it because of avoidable problems, it is your fault not theirs.
