    There is 4 different e-mail links in EJ's post;
    www.kiwibiker.co.nz
    www.kiwibikers.co.nz
    www.kiwibiker.com
    www.kiwibikers.com

    I haven't tried them, assuming they all link back here.

    Fuck the embarrassment and shame of it all. Think how many thousands, nay millions, nay billions of people who will search 'Kiwibiker rant and rave', and how they will all laugh at us.

    This a biker forum site, not a spelling bee. No-one is responsible for correcting everyone's spelling and grammar.

    The mods may often correct spelling mistakes in thread titles - I fixed the "Lybia" one yesterday - but obviously not before it had been indexed by Google.

    I've seen far worse examples on Google.

    Would it be difficult to force a spell check before a post can be submitted?
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    Are you crazy OAB? Think of the poor sods that can't sleep at night, due to a jaw dropping lack of capitalisation!

    Well, someone should, coz I ain't.

    You can write the procedures that differentiate technical content from conversations.
