Hello Dave, [quote]QUOTE: OK, I feel I sould jup in cince mi coment about the spellin seams too hafe startet sumthing beg. [/quote] You may have written that in an attempt to ridicule but it is rather too close to the way I have seen posts written on another forum that I belong to. The author claimed fluency in 5 languages but admitted to limited knowledge of English. Your quote with a phonetic pronunciation will provide an accent that is very reminiscent of our Nordic friends. [quote]QUOTE: When I have to read a post two or three times to even begin to decipher what the author was trying to ask or explain, I thinka spell check request is not out of line.[/quote] Isn't this the complaint of the learned men of letters regarding the works of Samuel Clemens. Did not the same Mark Twain say that people who spell correctly only do so because they lack any real imagination? Yes telling someone to spell your way is rude. Ignoring their message and going on to one that you approve of is 'not out of line' [quote]QUOTE: I visit this forum to help and get help with model railroading. I contribute regularly and do not appreciate responses from persons who only contribute when they can contradict or give a holier than thou response. [/quote] I agree, in fact I doubt any would disagree. Responding to an AB is the only way to encourage them to stay around and keep on acting like an AB. The trouble with sidelining this topic is that it makes Rick's valid point that much less coherent. I ran a BBS for 14 years (and it may still go back up) and speaking as the System Operator, I can attest to the user complaints being the single most important driving force to develop and improve a board. Mine is some 500 times bigger than when first installed and has been changed to the point where it's difficult to recognise it's lineage.
