True, but I'm surprised that minor typos are all that's discussed when a long
an informative message is posted. The trolls often pay careful attention to
details (trying to nitpick and find inaccuracies... in my case even typos
because I don't proofread, I do it in one quick pass). Long posts leave
plenty of place for misinterpretation and criticism...
Oh well...
Never mind...
