At last!  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  ==  >

[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

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).

By all means.
