My default settings are to not login automatically, but my username and password are stored for whenever I would like to post.

Let's me fly under the radar when I want to! :)

Uncle Vic,
If I log on (upper right hand side of display) then I cannot post. If I simply go to forums and ask to reply to a post, enter my handle,and password then things go well (this does not not log me in). Simply don't care if my security system or roadfood.com is preventing the other way or not.

Over the years I've come to accept Mr. Gates crap system. Why spend ten hours figuring out a glitch when it takes zero time to get around it and still accomplish the task at hand?

PS...it's "you're" not "your"

Sheesh! Bet you never hurriedly typed a thing wrong in your life! I am sure the person in question knows just as much as you do.

My point is that if I do log on I cannot post. I post using w/o logging on.

Greymo,
My wife makes the same your/you're mistake all the time and she is much smarter than I. Using your when you need to use you're isn't mistyping.

As to wether the other poster knows as much or more than I...who knows. As S. Clemmens said " All people are ignorant about something" I confess to being one of the most ignorant humans walking the earth.

That's whether, not wether, and one can only guess that you were referring to S. Clemens, as in Samuel Langhorne Clemens, not Clemmens.

Speaking of the weather, sure is nice here today...

Ignorant engineer that I am I concede. but your and you're are a bit more basic

Mr. Hoffman
Thank you for replacing my spinster aunt who corrected my thank you notes. Gee, sure have missed you.

You can't see me, but I am hereeeeeee**********

Re Hoffman,

He's errrr He Is a Lot more fun in person...Kind of like a Gladiator working his way thru the population of Sunbury, Ohio.

BTW I haven't a clue as to why V- has a posting problem. I leave myself logged on all the time, so I never have to type anything to 'be active'.

I am on RF daily at work (as a visitor). Big Brother watching for them darn cookies, etc., if I sign in, etc.

Sory, aint gots no spel chek here.

I hang out as a visitor too. Only time it gives me problems is if I make a mistake on a post. Then I HAVE to log in, because it's the only way to get the edit feature.

I confess that mis-using your and you're is one of my pet peeves and I cringe when I see it used incorrectly. I'm glad some people keep on correctin'....

Then there's 'hanged' and 'hung'. A lesson in futility.

All I know about that is that I would rather be one than the other.

Ah yes...pictures are hung, people are hanged.

You affect an effect.

Not bad for an engineer, heh?

Al,
No posting problem at all. Just can't post if I log on. I simply reply to the post and everything is fine.

If You ARE happy with the current situation, then all is well!

Vic- I have never mastered the spellcheck on the website either.

AND, Apostrophe's are a Tool of the Devil!!

Let us not forget its and it's.

Al,
I'm a very happy camper. Compared to some other places I post this is a walk in the park.

The idiots, let's try to be nice Mikie...the mentally challenged folks at Chowhound.com delete at least one of my posts per week.

I was banned from a poultry site (backyardchickens.com) for telling a woman "It's a chicken for God's sake...kill it and move on, the vet will charge you $100 and won't have a clue as to what is wrong w/ it". She had posted a long list of problems w/ the chicken in question which clearly indicated the chicken was going to die soon. That's me...the insensitive hobby farmer.

It's- a conjugation of "it is"

Its- the pocessive use.

Did I get it right?

You mean I'm not the only unregenerate Windows-loather still in existence? I even still use WordPerfect out of spite! (And it's still not as fast as WP for DOS was. )

And don't crank this old grammarian up! But it should be "Mr. Gates's." Now if someone could clarify end punctuation while using quotation marks up for me.

Don't anywone get our resident grammarian riled up! He is the master of the apostrophe!

Apostrophes are the only things that truly frighten me...

Rick,
If you are writing for the N.Y. Times, right you are about the possessive proper noun ending in s. Editors elsewhere, in their zeal to modify, often slash it to Gate's. Now it's just plain wrong.

I certainly prefer s's. However, I'm not sure if any other style and usage book stipulates it.
