i think what this statistic really means is that while 30% of us know
how to spell Diety and aren't typing too fast to get it right, 70% of
us either don't know how to spell it or need to slow down our typing.

hehe.  i like that.  its nice to have all the serious mail broken up
by something funny every once in awhile.

however, since it works both ways (for both Diety and Deity), i think
we should come up with something for it to stand for.  like "Deity Eats
Ice Cream That's Yellow"...but a little more meaningful.
