My hidden (but not dead [yet]) hand

Close readers — especially those who've commented here — may — or may not — have noticed that spelling errors originally present in their remarks seem to vanish as if by magic soon after being posted.

No, this is not the boj equivalent of Maxwell's demon but rather my determination to make your comment as useful and credible as possible.

Spelling (and capitalization, for that matter) errors jar an attentive reader and break the stream of thought.

You pay a lot for boj: you ought to get your money's worth.

If there are any readers who would prefer I not edit their comments for spelling or capitalization, please let me know and I will leave yours as pristine as the moment you posted them.
