The answer to literate/illiterate writing on the net! We now know how to determine with certainty which netters are literate and which of us on whom the rod should not be spared! See: Henry C. Mensch == > > 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)[sic --lsc]: [In summary: Jeff Sargent, Rich Kulawiec, Andrew Klossner, John Lind, & one unnamed (forgotten) literate other.] And here is the basis for Henry C. Mensch's convenient rule: > In my recent .signatures, I have included one gross literary error > ... and misused word/spelling error ... Only five people caught on. Therefore, if you pay attention to Henry C. Mensch's signatures and correct him about any errors, you are Literate! Easy, no?! Congratulations to the winners! The rest of us are just lusers and hosers I guess: time to apply razor blades to wrists (and stop whining about how you don't have time to read and correct signatures). > Oh well. Such is life.
