I know I asked for it, and I am glad to see that people are more 
concerned with the spelling and grammar. This is a shame 
because you miss the meaning of what is said by those of us 
who can't type, and rely on assistants. I however tend to write like 
I speak, and I don't say "comma" when there should be a gap in 
my speech, but simply hand tapes to my assistant and ask her 
to type it out, good news she taught English at UCLA before 
working for me. The bad news is I can't ask her to type my posts 
as she has enough to do with all the daily chores she has to do 
for me in the real world. I would like to contribute to this group, 
and would rather it said great point instead of hey you didn't 
capitalize Harry's name or it is Hermoine not Hermione (I know I 
am on my sixth reading of the series).

So I will not ask you all to correct me, because I know my 
strengths are running a company not typing or taking time to 
reread my posts when I am upset. So the question is can we not 
correct my grammar (I will hire a writing tutor on Monday) if I were 
to post good points?

Thanks for your time,

Dave
