	Will all you Einsteins and Platos out there who suffix confusing words
	with the timid little "(sp?)" kindly invest in a standard dictionary,
	thesaurus or spelling filter and have the decency to use it.
	
	Your logic is hard enough to follow without stumbling over inane
	attempts at phonetic spelling and followed by wimpish school-boy
	excuses like "(sp?)".
	
	I'm fed up at doing your work for you.  Use a dictionary!  Learn
	something for once!

Don't read it then!   Some of us don't think that net.flame is
important enough to take the time to use a dictionary.  
We think net.flame is worth only the amount of time
that our esteemed debating opponents spend thinking
before they write.  Clearly, if we have that attitude, 
you can take one to match.

In another vein, did it EVER occur to you perfectionists
that those of us who can't spell very well (or at least 
SOME of us who can't spell very well, perhaps) don't like 
that either, but that we've never gotten any better?  
(Or does that just gratify a need to feel superior?)

Call it "wimpish (sic) school-boy excuse" or not, at least
some of us know that we've made a potential mistake most
of the time.  <You might consider what you've made in 
your argument, here!> If you folks who are dependant on perfect spelling
can't separate an argument from the spelling used to present it, 
then I propose that YOU have a problem.  

I don't know where the (DELETED metaphysical location)  you 
get off telling others to "Learn something for once!"  
If it makes you feel better, go ahead and say it.  
Just consider WHY it makes you feel better when you say it.
