I was under the impression that there were some literate people on the net. I have found all five of them (not including myself; modesty prevails here): Jeff Sargent Rich Kulawiec Andrew Klossner John Lind one unnamed (forgotten) literate other In my recent .signatures, I have included one gross literary error ("Oh brave new world that has such people in it!" attributed to Wm. Shakespeare :-)) and misused word/spelling error ("Ignorance is bliss, but it's revelation is not;" `it's` should be `its`). Only five people caught on. Oh well. Such is life. Back to the bit bucket. P. S. -- Flames to /dev/null. There will be some flaming English major carrying a blowtorch to this article. I am more than aware that my command of our beloved language is less than perfect, but at least I care to discuss it and to improve it.
