I hate to extend the spelling discussion (it has been going on too long
on too many net groups). . .  I don't think that it seriously *bothers* anyone
to see misspellings.  However, the number and severity of the misspellings
reflect upon the person who wrote the message, and therefore affects the
seriousness to which that person's comments are taken.  If a person
does not take the time to correct massive gross spelling errors, how can that
person be expected to correct or organize his/her thoughts?  A person should 
want to spell correctly as possible -- not to please the readers, but simply to 
gain greater creditability for him/herself.  Correction of another's gross
misspellings usually does not gain anything for anyone.
