I may be banned....I may be flamed.... But political correctness is
officially dead since Clinton.... and I have to say this, cause I know that
more people than me have thought it... James... for chrissakes, please
please, please!!!!! ... learn to use the English language. I can only guess
that English is not your second language. I know you are not a bumbling
idiot, because your posts contain some very insightful,well thought out,
information. I just can't wade through the bad grammar and spelling anymore,
which seems to be so completely on purpose. One of the wisest people I ever
met taught me"...when you break rules ....DO IT EFFECTIVELY!!!" So please
James, break the rules in some sort of resemblance to how smart you really
are.

P.S. I know you have spell check because of your(accurate and on the mark)
post about Outlook98.
P.S.S I am willing to take my lumps for this post.
