<VV> GM Spelling on this reference

[J R Read]

Hey, I was just responding to the party who could find nothing when he 
spelled it light.  I also find it interesting that Safelite Auto Glass 
spells it lite.  There must be an alternate history there somewhere.

Guess I'll just go open a Miller Lite and ponder this further....

  NOT.

Later, JR
