I really don't know why I have to do this .... but just to make things
clear to you (and to anyone else who has no idea about the various ways
that text may be highlighted in a posting):

  1. The sentence that has you so excited was in response to what someone
else had posted.

  2. Once again, you have conveniently ignored what the original posting
was and have deleted it from your post.

  3. If you were not so keen (for a second time, I may add) to try (and
fail miserably, once again) on having fun at someone elses expense, you
would have noticed that the TWO words that I had wrongly spelt in my post
were EXACTLY the two words that the original poster had spelt wrongly.
The reason I had them in CAPS was to make them stand out (or did you
really believe that COWBOT (note CAPS) fans love to SHOUT about their
mistakes?).

  4. In case you haven't heard about them, these days there are all sorts
of spell checkers available in every conceivable piece of software. Even
if I was not a good speller, I could still spell most words correctly
with the help of these.

  5. SOORY, once again. And please note that it is in CAPS!
