Ahhh, thanks for letting me know I'm getting to you.

Joe, if I were as ignorant as you are, then I wouldn't be able to
understand your irrepressable ignorance in reading comprehension.

 JD> As for missing commas, big deal.

It is a bid deal, when you're too ignornat to use them properly.
Especially in this medium.

 JD>  Both those cases they were not really necessary.

Wrong. One comma would have made your statement. As it was, it meant
nothing.

 JD> BTW, complaining about typos, is just your style.

Ummmm, you must have me mixed up with your butt-buddy, Felten. I don't
complain about anybody's typos or misspelling, unless they make mine their
primary target. Lacking any other English grammar skills, that's your
style.

Such as note-books, pencils and other perishable items. That's the way
it's been since when my parents went to school. Books were furnished by
the Board of Education in the school district where I was educated. When
entering college, books were furnished by a different BoE, but they
weren't free to the pupil. The reason they're furnished is so that every
student can be on the same page as the teacher.

i.e. Taxpayers in California used to have the luxury of a tuition free
education, but no more.

Some government.

 JD> My education was probably much better then yours.

I doubt that very much. Mine was much better than yours, as your English
isn't nearly as well done as mine.

 JD> It is very easy to start critising others, to take attention away

I've noticed that you only do that when you think you've got a leg-up on
someone. You know it never pays off when you do it to me, so I have a
hard time figuring out why you would embarrass yourself so much.
