You will occasionally bust a run on sentence here and their (well you did one which was quite long); however you make excellent points in your posts. :)

Might take a bit of effort for me, but usually if I read them out loud, it makes pretty good sense to me. Pity your program doesn't offer commas, but that's not your problem.

I hate to say it, but my program does allow punctuations if I actually say them and occasionally if I don't. But being a lifelong dyslexic and avoiding pretty much all writing tasks I dictated my way through college pretty much at Berkeley no less but majored in partying long story. I don't think it's exactly that I'm lazy or maybe it is I'm lazy sometimes I just want a post and don't feel like gearing up to the mental level it takes, for me to punctuate

i must say druid, that in almost every post of yours i have to puzzle out what you're talkin' about. but i actually find it quite amusing and always thought you were smoking some green or something...... mostly :)

but....i had no idea you were dyslexic and used a translating program :o

You are one of the people who make this place interesting, it would be less so without you. If you posts sometimes require a bit of effort to read, the effort is always rewarded, as your comments are generally intelligent and insightful.

Didn't everyone who went to Berkeley major in partying (with a minor in protest marching)? :D

Hey druid, Bro considering you're a "life long Dyslexic"..........I'd say you've been doing a good job on your posts ;) . My Hats Off To You. That is a difficult condition to be in and to overcome going through life. I'm not one to speak of posts.........My posts ramble and are drawn out. My problem is I do alot of lengthy reports, and used to write short stories. So, I tend to over-detail.........I'm Trying. You're posts are interesting and I can figure out what you're trying to say. Keep up the good work and keep em coming ;) :D . Take good care and be safe.

God Bless :)

Your posts are fine and most welcome.
While reading I sometimes wonder were you are from and then I am always surprised to see you are from the US. I believe I have a problem with my memory.
