This thread has gone on far too long already.  This reply is directed
at everyone on the list who is using bandwidth to dissect language and
grammar on the list instead of purvey information.  Please let's work
harder to make this list a useful and polite forum, not a place to
tear other people down.

Also, I recommend everyone review the netiquette guidelines:

If you find a message hard to understand, ask nicely for
clarification.  If you don't receive it, or if you think it's not
worth your time to try and help the poster, stop posting to the
thread.  Walk away and spend your time in a way you find more
worthwhile.  Do not carry on pointless bickering over semantics and
language.

Please help us maintain the sanity of the list, so we don't have to
moderate.
