  1. I fixed that for you, so Max will feel better when he sees it next. I too tend to be a bit of a 'grammar police' person myself. The result of a wonderful, but extremely strict, teacher in high school, I expect. Mrs Rogers was a tiny little woman, who could with one look make the biggest football jock swallow his gum without a moments hesitation. And she drilled us on proper use of the English language in ways that made all her students use better grammar all the time. She was a good artist, so used pictures to help us understand. I can still see her drawing of the phrase 'the old man was sweeping the floor with a long white beard". I still move a descriptive phrase when it is misplaced, just because of that one example. So things like that topic heading just grate on me. It's not a big deal, but if you look at an old post and suddenly notice that some typo or split infinitive has been corrected, it's probably because I read it. :P

  2. Everybody's intent on going paperless. They don't give much thought to things such as per-digital recordkeeping, bank mergers, snd basic sloppiness in the businesses they deal with. They just assume somebody else has it taken care of, or perhaps they will be able to bully, beg, belittle, or shame somebody else into covering for them if a problem comes up.

  3. Being unfamiliar with the mechanics of the forum let me say that if posts to the TRX forum are automatically posted to the ATX Community forum general chat, then I apologize for my earlier comment. If, on the other hand, you posted separately to this forum, I stand by my comment of underhanded marketing.
