Are you suggesting that Obama bin Laden is typical of Islam? If so,
you're probably right.

I spelled it correctly. Look at the above spelling. Can you hazard a

That's meaningless statement. But my spell checker thinks Obama and
Osama is the same. Maybe so!

Did you deliberately alter the wording of Mark Isaak’s post? Stop fucking
around with me.

Some spell checkers will "correct" the same pattern automatically
following an initial correction.  It's possible Ron Dean's spell
checker suggested to replace Mark Isaak's "Osama" with "Obama", which
Ron Dean carelessly accepted, and then it automatically replaced all
following versions of "Osama", including Ron Dean's.  This has
happened to me. 

Although my spell checker is smart enough to exclude quoted text, and
so would not have made this particular error, it's not smart enough to
know the difference between what I meant and what I told it to do. 

This is similar to what happened to the authors of "Of Pandas and
People" which helped to document its conversion from a Creationist
book to a cdesign proponentsists one.

Nevertheless, it remains a remarkable and embarrassing Chez Watt. 

I responded to Mark Isaak's post on 3/23 at 7:17. It was 14 minutes
later when the misspelling was
pointed out by you. I saw the post which Jillery posted At 3/23 at
11:44. Early this morning I read
Jill's post until then I was unaware of  misspelling. Then I checked and
learned that you had pointed this out yesterday. I frequently correspond
with Jill, but rarely with you. Had I not read Jill's post today I
seriously doubt I would have have ever known about it.

It's as if you don't even recognize the problem here.  None of your
comments above inform the specified issue, which is the change of
*Mark Isaak's* text from "Osama" to "Obama" in your post, which echoes
a common right-wingnut trope. 
 
Also, my Usenet nic is "jillery".  It is a neologism, and "jill" is
not a form of it.  Please stop referring to me as "jill".
