- No you can't, either.

- There is no newsgroup in all off Usenet in which more indignant eighth-
- grade English teachers can be found. I have asked questions in misc.writing
- several times - honest questions, for which I wanted an honest answer, and
- I have never failed to be flamed. It's a club, not a useful tool.
-
- And to think I helped campaign for it. I oughta be shot :-).
-
- I might also add that the Society for Professional Communication, although
- it claims to deal in such areas, will not issue more than token assistance
- to non-members. You have to pay the toll first.
