Let me make a suggestion.  The use of the word 'sic' by newspapers, etc.,
is intended to show that a particular error was committed by the original
author, and not by the transcriber, proof-reader, typesetter, etc.  But
these folks don't have an all-electronic medium!  If I, using my text editor,
copy someone's article into my reply, the chance of me introducing spelling
errors is quite low.  I suggest, then, that those of us who do use editors
when composing articles refrain from gratuitous modifications; we're not
going to blame you.  And for those who don't use editors -- do so!  It lets
you correct spelling errors, grammatical errors, etc.
