Your comments are appropriate for formal writing.  Usenet is
conversational, ergo one should accept idiomatic expressions.
Otherwise we'd insist that no one use "doubt" to mean a mere question
without suspicion.

I do aver that one should spell nouns, particularly proper nouns,
correctly in technical speech, which this is for all its informality,
and it only makes sense to spell the first-person singular nominative
pronoun in English correctly as it's short enough to remember.

There's some folks even more pedantic than I, apparently.  Welcome to
the club, Michael.
