For wfaulk ... Here is a tool that will put a spell check into your right-click menu

This assumes that

1. I'm using Windows (rarely true)
2. When using Windows, I'm using IE (also rarely true)
3. I need an automated spelling checker (never true! )

Actually, I use OmniWeb most of the time, and it has a built-in check-as-you-go spell checker that requires no external interface. It's quite nice. But, of course, with all the jargon and abbreviations used in places like this, much of my posts are underlined in red, anyway, and I have to ignore it.
