Well, the personal profile page could use a little grammatical help and spell check help as well.

What? You make a third grade grammar error, and I'm a jerk for pointing it out?

[Rabid Dog]

Dude, don't be casting stones.

[prion]

Why? Where did my grammar turn moron?

[Bob J]

True. How about a traditional article illustrating his flip flops over time?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Bob J? Ping

Pretty much on target.

[FastCoyote]

Thanks, I actually have some very unique material that I need a venue for.

[prion]

Which says a lot more about you than it does about me.

Grow up newbie.

[Bob J]

Where did all those dang apostrophes come from...heheh.

[Rabid Dog]

On your personal page there are at least two typos and one incomplete sentence.

[prion]

Really? Name them.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Hmmmmm. Zac'ly how serious does one have to be to participate. I'm more of a satyrical nature. No....that's not a typo.

[Rabid Dog]

I italized the words/sentences that were not spelled correctly, were incomplete or possible didn't even exist - all for no charge or insult.

PROteinaceous INfectious agent (which really ought to make it "proin", no?). The prion theory suggests that the infective agent of CJD (and the other TSEs) is composed of a protein only and does not contain nucleic acid, which would be necessary if the agent was a conventional virius.p> Claimed by a large number of groups to be the infectious particle that transmits the disease from one cell to another and from one animal to another. It is made from the normal protein PrPc (the c stands for chromosomal) that is produced in small quantities in many cells and especially the lymphoid and nervous tissue cells.

On the other hand, there could be no suchofa thing, in which case we've wasted all this time and money and accomplished squat.

In fact, it does say a lot more about you.

This Forum get's as many as 30k posts a day and anyone who frets over the 10k-20k spelling errors must spend some time evaluating their priorities.

I must not be "most," since I was not aware. Thanks for the tip.

Satire is fine, think Ann Coulter or Mark Steyn. The issue with the example referenced above had more to do with the style in which it was written, it was like a transcript from a debate. The content was fine but the structure didn't lend itself to an opinion column.
