Go up one level in this thread


I can't agree about this as we are talking about the spelling of Michael's name
(spelled correctly in Chess Life & many other well known sources), rather than
the expression of common ideas (not often checked by cutting & pasting into a
word processor to check).  It is common in news group postings to not be
'bothered' by common word misspellings for this reason.  Whereas, the correct
spelling of a person's name (As they are deserving of this respect), has
infinitely more importance. (At least to me!).
