Is it asking too much for DUers to please hit PREVIEW [View all]

before posting? Some of the posts are so garbled that they are unreadable, with missing words plus grammar and spelling errors. I know we are used to typing quickly, and anxious to get our message out there, but be considerate of those of us who are trying to make sense of your post. It only takes a few extra seconds to preview your work and correct the mistakes.
