    Received a pm from someone suggesting that I shouldn't be sharing stuff about my employer on here.
    So mods, you can remove the thread please, thanks.

    Is there a point to this post?

    A subtle hint that other members should spell check their posts. If yes then I agree with you. Also another peeve I have is people who screw up their post and then just leave it that way. There is an EDIT function for fixing a post with obvious errors. These posts can be read for several years. If I'm reading posts, I don't really care if you can't spell or you are a bad typist. If you can't respect your readers enough to fix your errors don't expect them to respect what you have to say.

    Nah, I was just sharing something that I thought could be helpful to others.

    When I am at the market,
    I don't buy from people with punctuation mistakes on their vegetable stands.
    That's how strict I am.

    Maybe I should clarify that; Keep your nose out of other people's business please.

    Other peoples business? How do you figure that? Whenever someone opens a thread it becomes the business of any member that want's to respond. However if you don't like something I said perhaps you should address that subject.:bugeye:
