I'm forever getting emails that read "what newspaper is this from?" "where did you get this article?".... and low and behold, at the even of every article.... is the newspaper the article came from. (No, I just put New York Times 6 Jun 1871 at the end of the article for fun..) I respond back to folks explaining this and telling them where the particular article came from.... and yes. They right back asking the same question. So thank you Cyndi.

That song was on my daughter's favorites list when she was a teenager, which is the only reason I know it. I am a self-employed proofreader and totally agree with your points. Like you, rarely does a day go by that I don't get some email indicating people either didn't read (with comprehension) their original email or their email in response. <br /><br />Thanks for the rant.
