[G4] [off topic] installin os9

[Richard Northouse]

We need to be aware that the "world-wide-web" is exactly that. The guy might
be from some spot on the planet where they don't speak English and he did
his best.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Even non-native speakers of English should  
be able to use their knowledge of their own language to make at least  
an attempt at basic punctuation and capitalization. The fact that the  
original poster couldn't  be bothered to at least try (or more likely  
just couldn't be bothered) led to my smart-ass response. If they  
won't make the effort to communicate in reasonable English, why  
should I feel any need to answer reasonably?
