Since it appears that I forget to tell people the list exists, I guess I'll
try again.

There is now a GZGPedia mailing list to offload some of the talk for this
project. gzgpedia@csua.berkeley.edu. Subscribe just like you
did for the main list - "subscirbe gzgpedia" mailed to
majordomo@csua.berkeley.edu.

Not fair! A lot of us were biting our tongues on that one!

On a side note, as one of my notes yesterday seems to have had a few nasty
changes of tense all in a single phrase, I withdraw my offer of
proofreading...

However, I will go ahead and subscirbe.

Sorry, Matthew.

The point of everyone 'holding their tongues' is to show just how much we
appreciate your efforts!

I apologize for my falling down on the 'rah rah rah' job. Mr.White received
plenty of hurrahs from me (also well deserved).

Thanks again.

Hey, everyone makes the occassional spelling mistake. It's a fact of life,
and sometimes they're not caught - *that's* a fact of life. Sometimes
it's just a slip of the fingers, sometimes letters get transposed (eye sees
faster than fingers type or some such thing). Sometimes one just doesn't know
the correct spelling for something. *shrug* I try not to worry about 'em
overly much (unless I want to be funnin' with someone, then it's just in fun,
nothing more).

I work with a woman here who is on a crusade about proper spelling (esp in our
shift rpts) but then she'll send around memos that have spelling mistakes all
through them. But we can't call her on it.

The guy I got into a small email 'discussion' with (see my reply from last
night to the NSL order of battle) decided halfway through the 'discussion' to
slam me for misspelling 'misinterpreted' (it was spelt with 2 "t"s; for
all I know my finger may have just hit 't' twice - *shrug*)

Anyway, whatever. Rant mode off.

(but Matt...it's "tongue"  ;-) ;-)

That's a tough one. Give me a while to think about it.

Apologies for extracting the Michael. Thanks for doing a thankless task.

I agree with Mk

no time to spell check all this stuff even though outlook mail INSISTS anyway
(it also insists Encylopedia is a spelling mistake)

Picky spelly people at work are an annoyance, no one here does it seriously.

The only time it may matter is in URL's (Matts slip in describing command
syntax was just sods law in action)
