Now _I'm_ confused. Is that a double negative meaning it takes a while
to do?  Is that tongue-in-cheek humor?  Did this person not proof a
message about proof reading?  Maybe there was some 90 proof involved?

I've seen some pretty smart people who just couldn't spell.  I've seen
some foreigners do a pretty good job with our language with all its
various rules of spelling violated even in Webster's.  I used to be able
to spell pretty well myself, then old age started taking hold.  If you
can't or don't want to read it, page down.
