 Thanks Jim for clearing the air.
      As one who is not extreeeemely computer literate or comfortable with 
keyboards, mousepads and button pushing in general  I certainly would hope 
that the substance of my posts would be the primary consideration for mental 
digestion and not the grammer and punctuations. If that focus changes 
I'llcontribute less as I am quite a slow typist and it takes a good deal of 
my time to contribute or respond. 
  I appreciate all those who do take the time to contribute and I will not be 
 critiquing others grammar etc. on this list. If one is compelled to do so 
Miss manners suggests that a private post would be a more gracious and face 
saving medium rather than the world wide web.
    Best Regards to All>>Dale Erwin>>>>>>
