I'm not in the habit of editing other people's postings (even if I could, I wouldn't; my method would be to /msg them), nor do I tend to make (frequent) snarky comments about somebody's grammar, spelling, or punctuation.

So you think we should create a team of people who send /msgs whenever they see a grammar mistake? Sounds like a fantastic way to drive away visitors. It might even work for me. Was that your intent? ;)

Personally, I appreciate the time and interest expended when someone corrects one of my posts for grammar or spelling (or logical weakness), especially if it is done in a gracious or lighthearted manner. I doubt that we need a formalized group for such things -- I think there already are a few monks out there who will /msg if they notice a blatant error which detracts from the effectiveness of a node.

To both questions, the answer is "no".
