[rant]I'm not sure I understand what you think you've contributed to this thread with this post, besides attempting to derail the thread and dismiss the OP. I understand that CigTech seems to have drawn the ire of many forum regulars, and I haven't been around here long enough to know why. Regardless, as far as I'm concerned, nothing says "I've got too much spare on my hands" as openly criticizing the grammar and spelling of posts on a web forum. I'm certain that I could get a book editor friend of mine to carefully look over the posts of almost any user on almost any forum, and she would rip them to shreds.

Furthermore, a little bit of perspective is sometimes in order. My sister-in-law is moderately dyslexic (and for clarity, I'm not suggesting that is the situation with CigTech, I'm just using this as an example) and she has a great deal of difficulty with proper grammar and spelling; however, she's extremely bright, among the hardest working people I know, and has a heart of gold. I realize that this is an open web forum, and as such posters open themselves up to all sorts of criticisms (reasonable or otherwise) when they post. Regardless, I think that this post says a lot more about you than the poor grammar and spelling says about the OP.[/rant]
