PS I'm now waiting to see how long it takes for a mod to delete this post. In fact, this is exactly the same error that I corrected for that other poster.

About 50 minutes (although I edited it instead of deleting it). Sorry that I wasn't here sooner.

Now knock it the **** off.

So you are saying that it is no longer acceptable to correct the grammar or spelling used in a post made by someone else?
Since when did that become a rule of this forum?

I have no history with the particular poster that I quoted that time, and there is no reason to think that a problem would occur, yet you edited out the grammar correction anyway.

I truly don't understand why.

If you are going to claim that the post didn't add materially to the discussion in the thread, that's fine, but then I suggest that you spend a few hours combing the posting history of Mark Padgett and wear out your delete button. I'm only asking that you treat my posts the same way that you treat those of everyone else. Right now you aren't doing that, instead you are singling out my posts for deletion while leaving those of others who post nonsense (Padgett) or spelling or grammar corrections (rainmaker) unedited. IMO that's unprofessional.

I'm a pretty good speller, and when I'm not, I use a well worn dictionery. I'm not a very good typist. Whenever a make a post on this Forum, I'm always afraid that one of the Forum spellcheckers, or grammar checkers, will catch me in the act of "poor spelling", or "poor grammar", and make me look foolish. For this reason, I wish those spellcheckers, and grammar checkers, would stop.

I'm old, and I'm old-fashioned. I don't like it when posters use shortcuts, like those my children use when they email me; numbers for letters (4 for for), all small letters, no punctiation, acronyms (LOL), etc. For this reason, I would like the Forum spellcheckers, and grammar checkers, to keep up the good work.

As my best friend says, "Down the middle lies the virtue".
