No, he usually uses run on sentences, and leaves dangling participles, but I tried to help his sentence structure a little! LOL Just kidding Reid, we all know how intelligent you are, and I'm only pulling your leg. Actually trying to get the running shoes off your feet.

I realize that you mean this tongue in cheek but I would like to explain why I do not (any longer) normally use " and ' in my open or private posts, ICQ or email. In the past 2 years for some strange reason <g> I have answered over 10,000 public questions. My private or PM's have always been at least twice my public ratio. 20,000 is a very easy number of privates using that math which is conservative. I also have a number of instant message friends who I do at least 1 instant message per day with each.<g> This is a very conservative calculation....6 x 1 x 364 x 2yrs=4368. Now let us add it up...10,000 + 20,000 + 4368 = 34,368 messages in 2 years. Shall we add in my email volume?<g> The real deal......... 34,368 / 728 days = 47 messages a day that I post in some fashion. I have found it easier to short cut my grammar for the sake of gittin my point across. :8-)
