SENSATIONAL! STUPEFYING!

[LBernier at tribune.com]

     At the risk of fueling this recent nastiness, I do feel compelled to 
     defend Heikki by pointing out to Jules that Heikki's English is 
     probably a lot better than Jules' Finnish.
     
     This is an international list, Jules, that uses English as it's 
     primary posting language.  Not everyone, however, speaks English as 
     their first language.  A-and, given the nature of internet posting, we
     try not to condemn anyone for lapses in spelling or grammar.
     
     I would also like to respectfully request of everyone that we try to 
     limit our comments and criticisms to ideological differences, and
     stay away from these personal attacks.
     
     Jean.

Beneath contempt, this remark, but not notice, like the slime you get on 
your gloves when you clean the drains in a morgue. Can anyone make sense 
of the rest of the posting? And the spelling. I guess this is one of 
those upper-class snots I talked about in my piece on linguistics and 
power politics. He/she/it lets his servants do the spelling.
