I use spell check about once a month, whether I need to or not. And
my newsreader program (Forte Agent 2.0) does not include a grammar

Apologies if my earlier comments were out of line, but an annoyingly
high percentage of newsgroup postings are written as your original one
was and they can be quite difficult to comprehend.

And holiday best wishes to you as well.
