Er... I'm sorry if you're wrong sometimes? I'm not singling you out, if that's what you're saying--heck, I just told Happy Monkey he was wrong in the deck shuffling thread, and that guy's almost always got it right.

Clodfobble, don't even think about changing your ways.

You're in the Hall of Fame for some of your corrections/clarifications.

classicman pulled this same over-defensive routine with me. Of course, in that case it was probably me being a jerk. . . . But seriously, getting corrected when you need to be corrected is how you learn, and having more people to correct you is why the internet is a great place to learn.

You have too many spaces between the sentence that ends with "jerk" and the one that begins with "But." The invisible ellipsis is unnecessary and ridiculous. And don't begin your sentences with a conjunction.:p

I wasn't wrong - I was simply joking with LJ - not you. You took something not directed toward you and chose to act/post upon an incorrect assumption - thats all.
Trust me - I'm wrong plenty of times, probably most times - but not this one. Your comment just didn't belong. Now in that other thread or where BigV just said...or two weeks ago when Flint - - -oh nevermind.
