True indeed, Mr. Red. As I said, it's a two-way street.

And Dick, this may be true for some. But when I use DNS for serious writing, I regard what I produce with the program as first draft. For articles and for the book I'm working on, I do a lot of editing and re-writing (and sometimes even on Mudcat posts). I do this with a combination of using DNS and using the keyboard, sometimes even printing out a copy and editing it with a yellow wooden pencil. I think that those folks who consider themselves relieved of "the necessity of thinking before producing a document" are going to crank out garbage no matter what method they use. Voice recognition software just makes it a bit easier. Or, for that matter, have you read any good e-mails lately?
