Sorry, I guess I gained the wrong impression from your post.
I suppose what you suggest is possible. Roy's sloppiness sometimes annoys
me too, but I would consider it a poor reason to digg someone down - many
other people besides Roy use bad spelling or grammar, so why pick on him
for that? Personally, I hate making spelling mistakes. Others aren't so
particular.
