Sure, Bill, your repeated comments about OS/2 users not being able to use a
spell checker are intended to help people.  As I've said on several
occasions, try using a grammar/usage checker yourself.
And adding a grammar/usage checker is just as trivial.  So why don't you take
care of your problems first.
Horseshit.  You mentioned that bug on many occasions and babbled on about how
it cost you so much time -- even after you were given the workaround, you
still babbled on about the loss of time.  As for your claim about getting
around the bug, you never mentioned on any occasion that you had managed to
find a workaround for that bug under OS/2.  Though you still post as if you
were suffering from those problems at this point in time while having claimed
on several occasions that you removed OS/2 from your system on Columbus day,
1995.
BTW, you will notice that you again screwed up your grammar.  Please try to
correct your errors -- "was do to OS/2" is the most egregious of them.
Yeah, sure, Bill.  You were so interested that you never bothered to report
this bug.  Your "meticulous notes" were also damn near useless in actually
reproducing the bug.
Anyhow, just for a touch of humour, I thought I would add in a few of your
gems which you would have us believe were to "help" others.  Though others
might find it interesting that you claim that you have added a spell checker
to your OS and then turn around and claim that the spell checker is in your
message editor.
