ARRGH!!

I was happily reading info-atari and saw someone quote virtually the entire
text of someone else's message, then snidely suggest:

>Perhaps you, and a lot of other people also, could start by:-
>1. Learning to spell
>2. Learning to type, or at least to use an editor.

FLAME ON!!!

First of all, this kind of trash is uncalled for on the net.  It serves no
purpose whatsoever.

Secondly, this poster has no idea with what situation the original poster
was struggling:  I have done my share of time working on systems that only
had line oriented mail programs on terminals where the delete key was
immediately adjacent to the line-feed key ( like the one I am on now ).
I have made my share of spelling errors in mail messages, and I KNOW how to
spell quite well thank you.

FLAME OFF...

To the original poster, who indicated that (s)he was new to the net and
inexperienced: welcome aboard, and remember that not all of us are snide.
