Well, we've got Karl and Derek along with some others acting like babies fighting over a toy followed by a lesson in English.  As a list reader I see many posts showing poor sentence structure and Grammar many which are not from native English posters.  Not being critical of those but just to say that that particular sentence had nothing to do with Karl winning or losing the argument.  Karl gets into arguments because he uses the list as his own personal blogg and can be quite sharp in his comments to posts not to mention sometimes giving poor advise.  While Derek and others are way too quick to jump on his case using degrading comments and not appreciating the fact that if they would just correct any error(s) and not criticize Karl the thread wouldn't go on and on OT.  I would really like to see the list in general to stay on topic and stop all the Karl bashing and yeah, I know, people in hell want ice water, too.  FWIW, my $0.02,
