can arrange for my software to do it automatically w/o me thinking about
it, but this is a great example of silly nitpicking that will cost some
MT her job or some MTSO a good MT.

If an MT loses work over followup, follow-up, follow up confusion, my
guess is that there is more to the situation than just that.

You're right. And I really can't believe that in the throes of tomato
seedling time I'm actually wasting time arguing over such a trivial matter!!
