Just kidding Bonanza but I do believe that all posters should be heard without
critique of spelling or grammar errors. We can dissent in the content but should be sensitive to its delivery. I care little in regards to the level of eduction by all posters.

Absolutely agree. If posters have so much spare time that they sit at their computers waiting for someone to make an error, maybe they should volunteer at one of the local schools grading papers. Schools would probably love to have these experts on board.
