Okay folks,

Before this becomes a flame war, my response to Andrew's post was intended
as self-referential humor (Prima donna correcting a message complaining
about prima donnas), and not as proof to the world that *I* know how to
spell better than he does.

It very apparently did not have the desired effect, and thus if I had the
possibility to delete it, I would. Since I can't, please just disregard it
and get back to the *real* topics of this list. I promise not to let the
spelling diva correct *anyone* else.
