Funny you mention this. If you would look closely, I wasn't bragging about my 
misspellings, I was bragging about my laziness :-)

I commented in the first place to try to get some of you to see that this is a 
mailing list not a speech for the president. Now come on dude, lighten up.

When I read the original post from Neil, I thought to myself "You got to be 
kidding me." And I laughed. I posted my comments because there are people on 
this list who do not speak English fluently and are probably feeling 
unwelcome now because of some childish comment.
