Unfortunately, I have no degrees in Education or expertise in teaching English Comp. so I must leave that to others. Also, one example, IMHO, is worth thousands of words. In fact, my critics are probably right in that I might be better off along with everybody else if I simply took the obvious cue. My posts should be fewer and farther (or further?) between, especially if people continue to respond in the mode of feelings, syntax, adequacy of phrasing, etc. What else could I do? Old dogs cannot easily learn new tricks. Frank --- PPoint 2.07 * Origin: Maybe in 5000 years (1:396/45.12) .
