So let me get this straight......

Someone here makes a thread. Another someone belittles him by making fun of his grammer and spelling. I tell that person there's no reason for it and explain that maybe english isn't his primary language.

So what happens?

My post gets deleted and his remains.

So that's how this place is run??????? Screw that. I'm outta here.

I haven't seen your original post, so I can't really answer. But it depends on how you answer and how you have said it. If you use wordsl ike asshole then I can see why your post got deleted. I don't think Matt really did anything bad, and he used a friendly smile.

Oh, lighten up! We all tease each other on this forum from time to time.

But, in matt's defense... I'd have to say that post was one of the worst-spelled AND punctuated I've ever seen on ANY forum!

Every language uses some kind of punctuation. I am an English teacher myself, and at bottom, I think this is why punctuation, spelling etcetera needs to be learned (how best to teach it is another question). It is hard to understand poorly punctuated/spelled material, and it is even more difficult to consider it with the seriousness that the writer craves. I didn't say anything snide before, and I feel sorry for McCartneyManiac, rather than annoyed with him, but someone probably should say (and people now have said) that his post was almost impossible to understand. My hat is off to Bearkat77 for figuring it out at all.

At the same time, 4no1 probably deserves some credit for sticking up for McManiac, even if he did so in an inappropriate way. In any case, if he is true to his own word, he's left us, and that's that.

Yes, but getting back to the original question! The CD you are explaining was a give away by Fidelity Investment Co. in recognition of Paul's last tour(2005) here through the U.S. All you had to do at the time was request it through the Fidelity web site. It is a pretty standard greatest hits CD. But of interest on the CD is the inclusion of the song 'Once Upon a Long Ago' not previously available on CD
Here's a track listing
1. Another Day
2. Jet
3.Let 'em In
4. With a Little Luck
5. Live and Let Die
6. Listen To What The Man Said
7. My Love
8. Take It Away
9. No More Lonely Nights
10. Silly Love Songs
11. Put It There
12. Once Upon A Long Ago
13. The World Tonight
14. Bluebird
15. Calico Skies

So there you have it! Hope this help and that I made the grade :D

In all the time I've been hanging around Beatlelinks, I've never read a post before where someone has used a word like *sshole when referring to another member.

Matt was just making a typical Beatlink dig in good fun, albeit slightly sarcastic. I don't think the poorly-written original post had anything to do with a not-too-firm grasp of the English language. It looked more like a typical run-on message common in this super high-speed e-mail/text-messaging world we live in where proper punctuation is often foresaken.

So, if 4No1 has indeed departed... I say, "bye-bye!"

Small correction, not previously available on cd in the U.S.
It was on the U.K. greatest hits, as well as on cd-single.

Well, 4NO1 will not return since he deemed it appropriate to call me an a**hole in a PM.

Getting back on topic, it took me three run-throughs before I was able to understand it. If anyone knows where to get a copy of this album, let me know.

Thanks for that small correction there Legs! (Ladies and Gentlemen his name is) Of course living in the USA is what made me bring up that point. Kat if your search for the CD is futile I'd be happy to burn you a copy! Just PM me!
