You didn't read anything I wrote, did you?

Doesn't matter.  I'm not a list mom, and you can post anything you want.
I was trying to let some who might be inclined to listen to this "you
don't need to write properly" natter that, in the real world, it DOES
make a difference.

With over 30 years experience dealing with everything from volunteer
communities, employers, consulting, USENET, early Unix development, etc.,
through today, I've seen this before and if someone wants to resurrect
this tired cliche, it's their choice, but it's important to let people know
that it's not universally accepted...the first, second, or Nth time it's
espoused.

But hey, everyone's got to make their own mistakes and learn from them.
I'll not say anything more on the topic.

G'luck,
