Sometimes without the "argument" or discussion you do not (1) fully understand the errors are there, especially if you are new to research. (2) If you are "new" maybe you need to learn that you need to verify everything and without reading all of these messages you are "dumb" enough to accept everything as gospel (3) therefore in having the argument or discussion you not only have a learning experience but a teaching experience? Wouldn't it be nice to believe that you or I have taught someone to keep good records, and to check, or try to check and verify everything them or ones self before posting? To incluce proofreading for our own stupid type-o's? Lovetra Pamela Oester wrote: > AMEN AND AMEN! I couldn't have said it better myself.
