I thought the purpose of this site was to exchange information about VW
Vans.
I think this spelling stuff is just cluttering up the list.
And worse it may intimidate some people from posting if they think some
teacher type spelling Gestapo is looking over their shoulder to humiliate
them.
I don't think it belongs on the list.
If Ron decides to allow it, I think it should be limited to Fridays with
the other jokes.
