Hey, you're the one asking everyone else to change their way of
communicating just because you're too lazy to look up a few codes. If
you can't take some criticism because of this, maybe Usenet is a little
too wild and untamed for you.

Here's a hint - if you do you own travel arrangements, it's much faster
if you enter the airport codes into the various search engines. Someone
who isn't comfortable conversing in airport codes either has someone
else doing all their travel arrangements (either the corporate travel
department or a travel agency) or doesn't travel all that much.

I don't have a spell checker on my newsreader, and I don't travel with
a dictionary. Deal with it.


, you seem to have trouble with everyday language.

Your ISP is AOL. Close enough.

You always go east (as #3 is now out of service).
