Frank,
I think it is only a 1 point deduct, when English is not the poster's native language.
BTW, how do you say, "sue the bastards", in Finnish? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I see your point Walc, I forgot to take that into consideration. I will revise the score.

So that is now a 1 point deduction for incorrect spelling as well as another 1 point deduction for uncalled for exclamation.

However, given the fact that when W1N made this thread he phrased it in a demanding way and that as you know is grounds for yet another penalty. It seems I overlooked it in my previous assessment.

The "NOW" was completely out of line. Almost like we are his bitches and are forced to do his bidding because Finland has apparently not yet received the wonders of Google.

I'm going to possibly need a second opinion on this but according to the N.A.O.P.P (National Association Of Post Padders) that calls for an immediate withdrawl of any possibility of staying at a 4 star hotel and a deduction of 6 points. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Frank, I , of course, defer to your greater experience. However, the thread is titled, " Ok, somebody NOW tell me technically how it goes!".
If he had said " ok, somebody tell me NOW", that would be disrespectful. On the other hand, we may be looking at a mere translation issue.
