DIY, editing, spelling, language, none EFI

[CSH-HQ]

Well, ya lazy covers some of it, but the lack of O2 saturation for a couple 
years doesn't help, with spelling, names and a host of other issues.
  I've tried running spell check and for all the fooling around using 
auto/mechanical abbrevations I have other things to do.  Also, this is a 
multinational list, and some items lose it in translation. 
  IMHO, BFD.
  If the writer pretty well puts a point across, if I know the answer, I 
respond.
  The list goes thru cycles busy at times, and slower at others.  When 
common research is being done by all it gets huge, when it gets swamped with 
off list subjects, it seems to talk a break, and then bounce back.
  Some of the slow times yeild the greatest info..
  I happen to be editing the archives, and noone appreciates editing replies 
better than I, yet at times they are so short, even if you know the thread 
you can't make sense of the reply.
Grumpy
