I don't care how much he thinks he might know. If you don't know how or
simply REFUSE to use a spellchecker, I don't think you should be using
e-mail, let alone subscribing to majordomo mailing lists. How can anyone
be helpful to anybody when you cant make out 2 words in one of his rants?
For whatever reason some of you people seem to think that his unreadable
posts are cool/helpful/good. He hides behind excuses followed up with
pointless flame wars that he not only initializes but encourages.

Nobody is asking anyone to type flawlessly. (especially me.) For someone
who has had dislexia my whole life, I don't have ANY problem using a
spellchecker (makes a HUGE difference) not to mention rereading my posts
to TRY (Key word there) and make sure my posts are understandable. Why is
he is so unwilling? I can think of one word -Lazy-. (im sure plenty more
excuses will come when he invites us all to his pity party. Whatever, ill
be deleting his posts like I have been since day 2 of his arrival.) As
long as people continue to post messages in that manner, others
(especially new people who don't think this is the norm for a mailing
list.) will complain. We should start a voice mailing list.........  :)

Again, the point of this list is to share, help, resolve VW issues. I
think its our own duty to try and express ourselves in away that 99% of
the list members will be able to understand the first time by. I know I
sure try but am not always successful. I TRY, and that's all I ask of
anyone else.
