The quality or extent of grammar, punctuation, and spelling knowledge of
technical writers may very well be a valid topic for this list, but that
same discussion as it pertains to the content of posts to this list is *not*
a valid topic for discussion here. Someone used their observation of post
content as a lead-in to the valid (my assumption) topic; that's fine. Please
don't continue to discuss the off-topic issue - it has served its purpose.
If you keep it up, you'll just make Eric go prematurely gray.
