So, I'm sitting here, annoying USENETizens as usual, and the PHB pokes his

the word 'whether', like 'whether or not', that's not the same, right?"
I said, yes, they're completely different words, and spelled 'whether'
for him, and he left happy.
Sometimes just knowing how to spell stuff can be useful. ;-) (made _me_
feel pretty good, anyway! :-) )
(although, the day he asked "What's a 'neoconservative'?" and I said, "A
nazi in a republican suit", he didn't seem to like that very much.)
Cheers!

Doesn't it make you wonder, though, how a PHB can be so clueless, yet
earn more than a typical engineer...?
