I don't think it is very appropriate to insult people in a way like this.
The discussion is not about his orthographic skills. 

If "computer geeks" react like this, it is no wonder journalists write
crap about them (us). If Dale wants to write an article about this topic,
let him do that and support him. There are many journalists who don't,
and the results look like this Sunday Times article about Linux, written
by someone who obviously hasn't the faintest idea about Unix in general
and Linux in particular.

F'up set to a smaller number of newsgroups.

Oh yeah, that's the way you tend to think?
