     Can we all stop bickering about spelling?  Bob Mutel made a reasonable
point about some words that were chronically misspelled(not just in U. S.
dictionaries, but in all), and people continue to take offense.  Everyone,
including Bob, recognizes the value of INFO-VAX.  Discussion like this adds
nothing to that value, and I really don't feel like plowing through the
superfluous material.
