[what seems like 20 pages of crap] Terry, we have enough email from you already. I realize that you dont seem to have anything else to do but post to the lists, but please try to keep it remotely relevant. "aphasic dyslexia" and your school history are not SMP relevant by any stretch of imagination. A simple "yes, I already realized the error" would have been more than enough. Any more than that and you are wasting our time and contributing to email overload.
