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.

Well it is your choice but frankly I skip any message that takes extra
effort to decipher. I keep my spell checker and grammar checker turned on
at all times despite the fact that I received straight A's throughout
elementary school, high school, and college in all the English classes (and
related classes) that I took. Even with these aids turned on, I take time
to look through my message and make sure that it is as clear as possible. I
want people to read what I've written. Otherwise why bother to write
anything?

You are of course free to do so

I want people to process what I write not merely read it, and judging
by Stevies behvoir I do a pretty good, which is likely why he goes into
such a frenzy since I am getting through to him, and others like him
