OT: Internal Combustion Breakthrough?

Baloney!

Typing "hall" vs "haul" is certainly a mis-step, but it's the type of error common in usenet and insignificant.

You seem confused on the meaning of "first" as well as ad hominem, all in one sentence.

Recall, you were the first one to respond to this, after 3 other people responded... makes sense. Did you know I was the first one to complain about spell cops on usenet, after 4 million others, that is. Did you know Buzz Aldrin was the FIRST man on the moon... just after Neil Armstrong?

Of course everyone could figure out what you meant - as well,

Of course they could, so pointing out something so silly that had nothing to do with the argument presented was classic usenet drivel and the resulting banter one of the things that makes usenet fun for those choosing to participating in the frivolity.

Really? How could "everyone" know that? There are a number of reasons one might type "hall" when one meant to type "haul" in a usenet message, and not knowing how to spell the word is at the very bottom of the list.

If you think spelling "haul" instead of "hall" or protesting spell cops in a public forum is exposing one's panties, you have a long road ahead of you on usenet...

You're kidding, right?

You need to look up the definition of ad hominem. You are so far off the mark that you're beyond amusing, to downright funny.
