Well, in this case, I'm the idiot. I read that email over 2-3 times before
sending it and I still missed the missing "Don't" in front of the words
"top-post". :)

You're giving that as an example of legible? The definition you're giving
isn't even legible.

Who said I went to college. I did, but that's beside the point. I don't
nitpick others spellings and don't care if others nitpick mine. I can admit
mistakes as I did in the top of this email. :) If only I could delete that
original from the archives, because I know it's going to screw somebody up
sometime, even if it's 2 years from now.
