If you don't agree with the message the original poster was saying, then say so. You will get no objection from me.
But instead of objecting to the content of the message, you attacked the original poster for misspellings, when in fact there were no misspellings in his message.
When authors at this forum use "one time" names, they cannot claim any credibility from past postings, as there is no way to connect the different author names. The way to build credibility at this forum is to use the same "screen name" for each post. There are plenty of posters at AP that understand this concept.

I have no desire to anger you if "you and I have gotten along terrifically for a very long time." But that phrase suggests that I recognize you in some manner, and interpret your current message with an understanding of the context of conversations we have had in the past. When you use a "one time" name, how am I supposed to recognize that we have talked in the past, and that you actually have an informed point of view?
All of this would have been avoided if you would have used a recognizable, consistent, (but still anonymous) screen name, or, simply stated your displeasure with the original posters's message content, rather than his spelling, which was not wrong.
