Hi, James!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

JB>  Typo: "*SHUCKS* right back!"


            I thought that was probably what you meant....  :-)



JB>  I need to work on my proofreading skills. ]-:


            While you're at it, I'd suggest you look up "affect" and "effect".
You may of course be aware of the difference already... but what often happens
is that we see what we meant to write, not what we actually wrote.  One way of
getting around the problem is to do the opposite of what adult readers tend to
do when they're reading for comprehension:  i.e. slow down & focus on one word
at a time.  I do the latter when I want the right brain to keep quiet....  ;-)



JB>  ... I'm not a complete idiot. Several parts are
JB>  still missing.


            I got my act together, then forgot where I put it... [chuckle].
