>> Diversion duly noted. Ed purports to be humble, but enough said about
that. Use of Google Groups is my personal choice. Ed's personal
choice is a Microsoft newsreader client that has yet to master and
consequently he continue to screw up the posting hierarchy as has been
pointed out to him numerous times by numerous persons.

It is the Google Groups that is messed up. MS is mostly correct about
everything. I think you have to have a Ph.D. to even work in that
organization.

>> Actually I am
a retired IT professional who has likely forgotten more about
computers than Ed will ever learn about them. I can spell better than
I can type, but I never claimed to be and expert typist. As Ed often
points out, even the best writers need an editor. I guess Ed just
volunteered.

Why JimmyMac can't figure out how to use a spell checker in connection with
Google Groups is beyond my powers of comprehension. I think he is basically
lazy and does not want to do the research required.

But I agree with JimmyMac that we intellectuals can't type worth a damn. I
have always left that sort of thing to dumb females who seem to be expert at
typing. Like JimmyMac, I have spent my life on the higher things of the mind
and not on mundane tasks like typing.

Frankly, I would have more respect for Tom Sherman if he would occasionally
make a mistake in typing, but he never seems to. Folks who cross all their
t's and dot all their i's do not gain any respect from me.

JimmyMac is in fact an expert on computers and he will know more right now
than I will ever learn about computers if I live to be a hundred. He has in
the past helped me to get rid of pesky trojan horses which were fowling up
my computer. JimmyMac is a technological expert, but I am a cultural expert.
That is because I have read the complete works of Edward Gibbon and Arnold
Toynbee. But even though JimmyMac is a graduate of Loyola University in
Chicago, he seems not to have a proper regard for those of us who have spent
our lives reading scholarly books.
