Evidently, Penn State uses a different dictionary than the rest of the world--note
the repeated use of the word, "articals".  In the real world, the word is spelled,
"article", or "articles" in the plural.  The inconsistent capitalization is also
unflattering to the university.

I don't know Donna as well as others on this forum, but I do know enough about
her, and her work, to know that she is an honorable person, and beyond reproach--
certainly not deserving of the attack made against her by "jjiscool".

The sad part is that there are too many children like "jjiscool" in our business
these days--immature 22-year-olds who think they know everything about how the
world, and our industry, works, and won't hesitate to push their (lack of)
knowledge on everyone around them.  And, when things go wrong, their first
tactic is to find someone else to blame, rather than act like an adult and
accept responsibility.  The good thing is, these kids tend to flame out fairly
fast.
