Impressing a Walt is not on my list of priorities. Oh, good. You have a list and "priorities". How organised. I just do things at random. It's much more fun. I deduce you may have been in the services. If you knew Jim you would see how hilarious that deduction is. I don't. Do tell of the idiosycracy.

Re: Classic Email Typos

I had quite a few from a dyslexic colleague. He just used (randomly) to hit "spellcheck" and just accept all the changes.

One classic, which went to the board, had "Nerveless project".

He did have another probem though. We opened all the windows, even in winter, as he had the most terrible BO.
