'I'm debating on whether to debate with a semi literate - your grammar and spelling are atrocious.....' - I think that is what you said....'your grammar and spelling are atrocious.....'

You know, I doubt that Mr. Finn needs me to fight his battles for him but having talked to him, I find him to be a charming, careful, thoughtful, very intelligent man....one's ability to spell in this insane world we live in seems to me to be very unimportant. I have an 18 year old son who tests 'in the top 95th percentile' of everything .,............whatever the hell that means ---- and he can't spell to save his life. But he can THINK even though severely dyslexic.......!

I haven't run this through for spell check but I have to point out that I am a summa cum laude graduate in English in an American school (earned in 3 years, not 4) and I couldn't personally give a shit if anyone can spell as long as a) they can think and b) they have human compassion.

Whatever happened to decent politeness and humanity. Go Barry!!!!!
