There are some who are only too eager to behave like list moms and jump on people for things like grammar, spelling errors, etc. - it's entirely obnoxious. Thanks for the resume, the introduction to the things that matter to you and all of the barriers you want to put in the way of people exchanging information. I have no problem simply deleting messages that don't interest me for whatever reason but I simply don't want to encourage people to who want to enforce their obsessions about grammar, spelling etc. on others. And again I note that we continue to digress over this worthless topic. Craig
