Re: Attempts to ban constructive criticism...

I'm adding a note to this thread which I feel is a better approach to some
of the reasons for critizm.  While there are some valid reasons for
correcting people about their posts, most of what I see done could be
better served if you would direct them to the FAQ about posting.  I
know that everything that Nathan has said about the format of posts
and other 'netiquet' is covered in it, but I would be willing to bet that
50% of the people on the internet don't know about it, and 75% don't know
where to find it.

My suggestion is that, as part of you help to newbies, that you inform
them of where to find it.  I would mention where it is here, but I don't
know where it is.

And I agree with Dark_Dude that we are international, and that some
Apple II users have English as a second language.  And sometimes as a 
very poor second language.  Could you, as an example, read and write 
French well enough so that a native French citizen couldn't find errors 
in your posts in French?
