quoting dear old CHamil@aol:

To which I am *compelled to add:

Sure THERE are more than just typos HERE and sure again, THERE *is* a
difference between THERE and THEIR but HERE at least the two "THERE"s are
used correctly. Ah, all this biting irony and satire.. But, why am *I* in
such a *pedantic* mood?
