Dear Whatever: I notice you have taken to task a writer about whether or not a post is on topic, is spelled correctly, or is correct in some other minute detail. I would like to inform you that the post of Netnanny is already filled. It is held by Newton Fillmore, of Pacoima, California, although Mr. Fillmore is currently in a coma in a facility in Riverside, and has been for three years, eight months now. We just could not bring ourselves to demote him without a proper hearing and him being present. Please be advised that there are currently over 500 applicants and wannabes for the position. That does not include people like yourself who have broken with protocol and currently act like they are in the cherished position. If and when and if ever the post becomes available, you will be required to write an essay of no longer than 1500 words, single spaced, using the words there, they're, their, your, you're, and any others you can come up with in as many incorrect grammatical situations as possible. You must also describe the difference between "lose" and "loose" in 25 words or less. You must also include the reason that you think entitles you the lifelong right to hold this post, and review the rest of humanity on its daily heretofore unobserved unsupervised act of Usenet Posting.

I was offering no criticism to your original post and was attempting to add a little to the information of those who were using your post to further their education on "internet literacy" I do not use "BLOCK SENDER" whatever that may be. I am willing to read all posts and reply as I see fit. Mike |

Well I thought I was going to learn something about Corn silk, but still this was an amusing thread. I googled it anyways and realised that this relates to sweetcorn. Turns out that corn silk are "Stigmas from female maize flowers", I'm none the wiser
