Oh, please! You are the very epitome of a troll. But if it's any comfort, I'm sure that most of us feel that you are every bit as innocent as O.J. Simpson!

Old people like spelling. Could be one of them.
I'm honored by the nomination, but I assure you, it's not me. Since S&G has been on vacation for a couple of weeks, maybe we can figure out another regular poster who hasn't been around. Malmo perhaps? He can be a fussy nitpicker at times.

2. i believe that "spelling and grammer" and "picking nits" are the same poster.
Nope, sorry. S&G comes across (to me) as having received more formal training in the subject. I also think our voices are somewhat different. If anything, S&B and GAL sound more nearly alike to me.
Whatever. It's all in fun. G'night.

You see, that is exactly my point!
I have been told by various friends, family members, and co-workers that I am rather "retentive" about my English when it pertains to written communication. Personally I feel that there are many others who are much better technical authors than I am. However, I realize that there is a proper time and place to mentor another person regarding their writing, and a casual Internet message board like LetsRun is not the right place! I would never be presumptuous enough to intrude upon a thread in that manner. It's both condescending and childish.

Of course, there are a wide variety of trolls....Some of them are much more subtle, like "Skuj."
Subtle?! Skuj?! He's the biggest troll on this site. He knows nothing about running (1600m + 4x200m + 1600m + 4x200m + 1600m + 4x200m + 1600m + 4x200m...ouch!), he stole someone else's registered handle, and he starts the most insipious threads. Don't get me wrong...it is very entertaining. But the guy's trolling is anything but subtle.
