Jock - my spelling also lets me down frequently. I have an OED next to my keyboard and use it often when posting to this Board. Another simple remedy.
Which brings me back to Mark's original posting, which we must not lose sight of. It's all too easy for we, in the guilty 'five or six', to obfuscate (and I used OED for that) messages that challenge us. Instead of trying to pick holes in his post, should we not admit, with a certain amount of humility, that Mark has a point? Perhaps we post too often (as I am doing now)? Does it not occur to you, Jock, that if Mark feels that way, the likelihood is that other Tarboarders do also? Might not some of them be the more timid ones who you believe might have been scared off by some of my posts in the past? Where is your concern for them now?
