The spelling, grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I don't know if people are learning from each
other
on this list to spell incorrectly or not, but if that is the case, i got
educated
before 1970, and i care about it! In english we have a selection of suffixes 
and prefixes, and they each have a meaning. Therefore, "hobbiest" makes no 
sense!
