    This promises to be a very useful site. I do not wish to insult you because what you say is right and intelligently expressed but there are one or two grammatical errors that need to be corrected. There are other prejudices out there and as one who uses a spell-checker for every other word I think I have found that people pay more attention if the English is correct.

    If I say that I corrected at least 5 errors in my own work in the last paragraph you will see what I mean. I can help if you like.
