I believe this is know as an IKIABWAY or somesuch. That the poster
excuses his own error on the grounds that others have also made errors.
You admitted making the error multiple times but declared it "no biggie."
I thought it was a "biggie" as you had made your misunderstanding the
basis of many postings criticizing me. I politely pointed out your
misunderstanding without making it personal, but without any
acknowledgment on our part (unless it was buried somewhere in the
voluminous postings) that you were wrong to make that specific
criticism.

That is your intepretation, but I and others disagree based on Stanley's
own comments. You may feel that your opinions should have the status of
fact but I don't. And I certainly dont see the point of see arguing with
your opinion.

Look. You have posted a large number of messages saying that I was
wrong to write what I wrote 20 years ago. I told you that it was
possible that I had made an error and that that I would look up the
original article in the BAS Speaker when I could. In the meantime,
I amended the text that had you so angry so that it was literally
correct. Yet here you are, still going on and on and on. Does your
behavior not strike you as being just a tiny bit obsessive? Not totally
rational? Possibly an over-reaction? Perhaps due to an underlying
agenda on your part, given that you have now raised the matter in
another thread just a couple of hours back?

I have said all that I intend to. I doubt that that will be so in your case, however. :-(
