Hi all,

Yeh, they probably should, and they should also be more professional
in their display.  What's a Volenteer anyway, eh?  <sigh>  I know I
must sound like a broken record, and I am truly sorry for this,
however, if you are transmitting an important announcement like this,
something that is coming from the government, you have no business
allowing such a typo to exist.  there was also another typo in the
message itself.  Who are these dingbats and why can't they at least be
professional enough to send a clearly written document?


If you're writing an email message on a regular mailing list, and it
is your own words, there's no need to correct your typing or
spelling.  This is understood.  However, and this is a big, big, big,
however, if you are sending out a press release, a professional
request to be cross posted, an official announcement of any kind at
all, you make sure it's typed and spelled correctly!

BTW, I have never, ever seen anything less than professional come out
of the officers of EASI.  It's just how they are, they're
professionals!  That's one of the reasons why I recommend them so
highly in all corners of the Net!

"Volenteers"????  V-o-l-u-n-t-e-e-r-s.  Comes from the Latin
Voluntatis,  "Gloria in escelcis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus, bonne
voluntatis!"  "Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to men
of ***good will***..."  A volunteer is one who does something because
he/she wants to do so.  I am reluctant to associate with an outfit
that is so disorganized.  They might lose my comments, they might
abuse my good will by making me work long hours.  I don't know.  But
I'm going to think long and hard before applying.  That I can tell you
all.

Ann P.

P.S., If you forward an important announcement and you find that your
contact has inadvertently misspelled something, it is your job as a
good friend and a professional to correct this error, quietly, quickly
and not to say a word about it.  "He's my brother, he ain't
heavy...".
