Is there a free grammar checker as well?

For Internet Exploder - got to http://download.cnet.com/ieSpell/300...dlPid=10603528

and download and install. It's free for all non-commercial use. Since I'm running ads in my posts I have opted for the "Commercial Version..." but most people can get by with the freebie.

*** An important note - After installing you should close all browser windows and restart IE. Then, when you want to spell check - make certain that you use AFF's "ABC CHECK" button in the top right corner of the post editing box.

If you use the RIGHT MOUSE CLICK Menu funny things happen - like you lose your entire post before posting or saving it.

They were courteous, addressed me as "sir", and in one instance gave me directions. If I had been vague or uncooperative to prove a point, it would have made for some long evenings.

Travelling with cash stashed away does fit a profile. Being vague and uncooperative exasperates it. I'm just saying that we can either be opposed to profiling or not, but we have to be consistent. I don't think we can embrace profiling for some and then get all worked up when we discover that there are profiles that we may fit into.

I agree with you here, Stewie.

Well then, that settles it. I must be right.

The guy was irresponsible, carrying that much cash was asking to lose it. Matter of fact, it was so irresponsible that it became suspicious, however as was evidenced when the police officer showed up and let him go, he had not done anything illegal.
