Cec, as an aside, when people are conversing with each other, 50
percent of the information passing to and fro is conveyed by body
language.

Body language is completely lacking when conversing via newsgroups.
This can very easily lead to misunderstanding and futile argument.

People should check and recheck what they have said before posting.
The existence of certain types of spelling mistakes and obvious
grammatical errors are a guide to the care and attention which has
been paid by the sender to saying what he intended to say.

I admit, very careless senders do not deserve any replies. Not because
absence of reply is an unsaid reprimand but because they have
indicated their inability to understand a reply if they get one.

Then there are trollers!

This message is primarily intended for people seeking solutions to
problems.

I have had only two glasses of white wine. (South African).

And I don't know how to use a spell-checker even if I had one.
