Come on, this is e-mail, not real writing. It's shoot (and type) from the hip. It's a whole different genre from real writing. I don't even look at spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc...don't expect that from this forum. Listserves are an electronic version of a bar table. Everyone's sitting around it, and some have more of their faculties intact than others, but no one's expected to be up 100%. Unless you're a drunken Englishman or something.
