Guilty as charged! I know good spellers don’t believe this, but spelling takes a knack just like, say, playing the guitar. Good speller I ain’t (Play a pretty mean guitar,though ;)). It’s always bugged me - I’m a MENSA, for crying out loud! I take a hit here on the boards now and again for it. But my status as bad-speller-whipping-boy is well deserved since I’m too lazy to actually look words up.
So, thanks…Oh,
And I never kiss anyone with sunglasses!

A few weeks ago I had a chance to revisit the size of the post files and found out my vision isn’t so great. While the post file is about 825 MBs the index file in fact was only about 80 MBs not 825 MBs. I’m getting old!
