Subject: RE: Poor Performers & What to do?
"thought about this matter"

I assure you the role of Lancelot is not type-casting for me. But the dear poster picked a fight with Ebbie---who had a perfectly reasonable question, and treated all the answers with respect---needlessly.

I'm so glad to know he does know the meaning of temerity.

It's also good to see he has discovered the joys of grammar--for somebody who actually wants to communicate.    Unless of course one of the goals is to protest the bourgeois restrictions of good English. Perhaps that's part of being a good soldier.

The overwhelming majority of us have provided calm constructive advice, without casting aspersions on Ebbie, who is only trying to do her best in her role in the venue she describes. It seems a reasonable request--and most of us have managed it.
