I assume you're a James Joyce fan MSN?

Perhaps I've misinterpreted your tone, but it seems a bit rude to me.
And completely pointless.  Is that correction *really* necessary given
that this is a HP listserve?  I think correcting things such as this
ought to probably be limited to HP corrections.  Or, if you were sending
a substantive post, and you wanted to say "BTW Neil -- it's actually
Finnegans Wake (no apostrope)" -- that would have been fine.

I do think we should all strive to keep completely off-topic (OT) posts
*and* OT responses to a minimum.

Thanks --

Penny
