You guys are all so kind. I hope Racecat can see this in you, and come back to this thread with a change of heart. The typos, after all, are quite funny. We've all made the same sort of mistakes from time to time.

I become frustrated myself by not well written statements and questions, but I've come to the point that the best approach is to carefully listen and try your best to figure it out. My favorite expression, which is used very often in thread titles and opening lines goes something like this:

"Help me date my bike..." (which always sounds to me as if the person wants to take his/her bike out for a romantic evening ).
