There is no reason to ridicule someone for misspelling a term, especially a slang term. If you need to correct someone, be polite about it... Alon, et al., My wife Jenny, also an Acupuncturist, read some of the recent language/spelling (bool) exchange and suggested I re-read my messages to see if they also seemed a bit obnoxious to me in retrospect. As is often the case, she was quite right, not to mention that the messages were also arrogant and hostile. Of course I'd like to blame my gall bladder, childhood experiences, and Irish-Cuban heritage. But from the standpoint of the spiritual poisons of the five elements, ignorance, anger, (lust)covetessness, envy, and pride, perhaps I should use a bit more introspective analysis of motivational root factors. Alon, I tend to either strongly agree or disagree with many of your perspectives, but always appreciate your passion. My apologies and I'll try to keep it more civil in the future.

I can be quite sharp as well w/out any ill-intentions as I always say exactly what is on my mind (usually w/ not enough Gan Cao) alon - stephen Friday, October 06, 2000 2:25 PM RE: Alon and english Original Message:Everyone please be respectful of the fact that not everyone on this listspeaks English as their native tongue.
