And all they need is info that is already publicly available, anyway. Maybe I need to suggest that they use the internet some more and gather that info about you.

I actually recieved these types a long time ago, but haven't gotten any after sending it to some agency that hunts these people down.
However, if you do get any of the millions,
send some my way so i can pass it out to the homeless, or renivate some building to house them.Good luck with your new-found fortune...

The 'spellin poliese' comment bring up an unanswerd question I posted some weeks ago: Does FF have some way of adding to its 'dictionary'? While the spelan errror is nice, one stlll must yews sum other app to maek tha changez. And sum ov itz warnygz or simply alternate spellingz four a werd. So, is there a way to 'teach' FF words that it doesn't kno? Or can it accept new words?
I dunno... you need to know how to spell competently w/ FF's spell checker [all it does is alert you to the problem, you have to fix it yourself]. For some of us, an alert is sufficient.

Well, I have developed a habit of using a third-party app that offers alternatives not just 'alerts'. And I use it fairly regularly. So an alert without a suggestion is simply redundant and not particularly helpful. However, since it only became a feature with recent versions, it will probably become more powerful with updates? I just get tired of seeing things underlined that I know are used a lot in computing discussions, eg; "app" and "admin"... I need to remember that FF is not a real Mac app/program. Even its text entry boxes ( URL, tool bar search boxes ) don't know how to respond to up/down arrow keys, just like a Windows app. I had always assumed that lack of knowledge was because the OS ( Windows ) provided that behavior. Apparently, it is built into the program itself.
