went on to elaborate and expand upon the thread at hand. Yes, yes, I read the full reply and it was all well and good, but a matter of spelling certainly was not essential to his post. I just feel that there is absolutely no point to correct someone on their spelling when we know exactly what and where they are talking about. Shall we start correcting the grammar of the list members who don't speak English well? You can be a member of the IDM Spelling and Grammar Police, but count me out. I don't like picking through fat to get to the meat. Objection sustained. Andrew
