Dear Miesha:

I've often had the same feeling.  However, I've never posted a message to 
that effect.

Remember, there are two sensitive areas involved.  The postings are in 
English as understood by the writers.  However, many have *no* English 
spell checkers.  Such a complaint throws wood on the complaints that 
organisations such as ours are English centric and U.S. centric.  (I 
thought twice about that last sentence, but the complaints are *not* about 
being "North American centric;-)

Your will note that I wrote "organisations" rather than "organizations".  I 
have never been able to get my Oxford spell program running in Eudora.
