Clarification. This was your inference, based on an unrelated comment 
somewhere else. Michelle was interested in working on FAQ. The only 
person who ever said the above was you.

My experience with Grey's writing--as one who used to "keep an eye" 
on his posts on the main list--is that it is actually rather good. 
Like many educated non-native speakers, his idiomatic usage is not 
always spot-on, but his constructions are correct and his meaning is 
clear.

And on Kelley--she is not an ex-MEG. She's an ex-Moderator. She's 
still a MEG.
