>I'm being anal? Look, I apologized to Craig already and the typo thing was a joke. You can't put grins and stuff in up here because they get interpretted as HTML tags. I'm not perfect and I don't expect perfection from everyone here. OTOH, if the accuracy of the answers and the spelling were better here, it would actually make the fox community look better. I'm not making a pitch for quality control here or anything like that, it's just an observation.

Look better to whom? To ourselves? There is nothing wrong with "I have an idea, let's figure this out...". And you can use grins...lookie here :-D
>I think its a lot more anal and makes the community look much more pathetic when someone post a challenge and then, because someone can meet that challenge others decide to come in and make up new rules for the contest.

It looks really pathetic when someone shows up out of the blue and challenges one of our more esteemed members with a semantical cheap shot. I understood what John meant, as, I assume, many others did even if it wasn't stated literally.
Dick, look around. You see little or no messages where someone challenges someone else or, even in jest, belittles them. This is a unique community with a unique temperament. Please try to respect that.
