Hey dimwit, what do you think "sorry about getting confused" meant? I

too much, but what I claimed you said was, by your own admission,
actually your opinion, and your opinion was 100% wrong.

Regardless of snipping, you can't even read. Rick wrote something and you
replied as if *I* wrote it. Deja vu all over again. (And just because I
applauded what he said doesn't mean I then somehow "own" the words. Like
you need to be told that!)

Hey moron - you agreed 100% with what the other moron said, and are
now trying to deny that. Typical of you fools. If you want your
idiotic posts to be read, you might avoid top posting (which is
considered bad form, and in your case your top-posted text was part of
what would normally be the line saying "X wrote.")

Bill "you never DID answer about the 'neutral nerds' who also told you that
you're incorrect" S.

Well, the one or two people who sort of agreed with you were wrong
(possibly they didn't see the original post.) A couple raised points
that were additional comments independent of what we were discussing.

Regardless, I answered the points being raised, and it is not
necessary to respond to each and every post to do that.

A lie. I *STILL* agree with what Rick wrote; the only point is that HE
WROTE IT (you replied as if *I* did).

Now you're really grasping, Zaumbie. I learned to not top-post years ago,
and most certainly never did in this pathetic excuse for a thread.
Modifying the "X wrote:" isn't top-posting; nor is stating something for the
reader's understanding before posting new content. (And shouldn't your holy
color-coded crapper allow you perfect comprehension of who said what
anyway?!? Sounds like it just confuses you!)

All someone has to do is look at Rick's very well crafted flame of you. I
then posted a reply (basically saying "well done, ol' smokey"), and then you
replied to MY post but trying to answer Rick's arguments (and addressing him
as me!).

All you gotta do is say you ****ed up (which is obvious to anyone), but
you're incapable of it apparently.

It meant nothing considering all of the dancing that followed it.
Also, stuff like:
Face it Sorni, you are a loser. You even lose arguments with

is generally a proof that an included apology is 100% meaningless.

It was quite obviously not a snipping error:

Even with all your color coding newsreader glory, you responded to
my _words_ (not his opinion) by writing to _Sorni_.

Maybe the problem is that you don't know how to operate
attributions, and depend entirely on your newsreader's color coding;
then it would be pretty easy to get confused, I guess. Possibly your
newsreader doesn't sort the messages properly, and you get confused
because you don't get to read them in order.

Whether or not any of those technical issues exist, the problem
remains you.

It was quite obviously not a snipping error:

It was a snipping error, and if you had half a brain, that would be
obvious. If you let a newsreader quote the text, and snip full lines,
you'd get what was posted. Sorni's "X wrote" line got snipped because
he filled in so much text between "wrote" and the following colon that
I noticed only his addition as I cut out irrelavant crap. So Sorni
himself contributed to the problem. Surely "(nothing snipped 'cuz
it's just so damned good!!! " is not a statement worth keeping in a
reply, and that's what I intended to snip.

Hint guys - don't try to be excessively cute on attribution lines - it
makes the attribution easy to miss. If you turn most of a line into
fluff, don't expect anyone to read the fluff, and anything next to the
fluff will probably not be noticed as well.

Maybe the problem is that you don't know how to operate
attributions, and depend entirely on your newsreader's color coding;
then it would be pretty easy to get confused,

Hey moron, my newsreader color-codes posts, but shows all quoted
text in the same color when composing replies. And I do know
how to handle attributions - in the single mistake I made, I simply
edited the post quickly. What I quoted, however, did in fact
express Sorni's opinion, as he stated as much.

As to "an appology 100% meaningless," Sorni does not deserve an
appology, only a correction, which I did in fact post. After all,
he merely quoted someone else to say what he wanted to anyway,
being too lazy to make up something on his own, and his attempts
at being excessively cute contributed to the problem. Besides,
he owes me about 30 apologies and I have yet to see one.

Hey slimeball, you said you agreed with that idiot Ric, and then complain
when I wrote:

+ Sigh. What a moron. Sorni must also think that if you try a track
+ stand and fall off the bike, you "chose" to fall. After all, it is
+ all "controlled by your brain."

If you agreed with him, then you must in fact think what I said you
think (and neither of you two had an answer for what I said, hence
the smokescreen about attributions.) Face it, you are both idiots.

You also ignored my last sentence in the post, "Consider the above a
reply to the other recent posts from you idiots as well." I made it
damn clear I was not replying just to you.

Oh, really? So, your infallible color coding doesn't even exist
where it's most needed?

If that's the case, then why did you write this:
Sorry about getting confused. Of course, snip
and
Hey dimwit, what do you think "sorry about getting confused" meant?

You implied in the second line that the first line was, in fact, an
apology; I then proceeded to question the validity of such apology:
Face it Sorni, you are a loser. You even lose arguments with
yourself.
is generally a proof that an included apology is 100% meaningless.

So, what _did_ you mean by "Sorry about getting confused.", and why
do you think that it was obviously not an apology?

You really ought to invest in a spell checker, Bil...you've written
"rediculous", "irrelavant", "appology", and a few others I saw
while reviewing this thread. Maybe you can trade your color-coded
newsreader in for one with a spell checker. Maybe it will help with
some of your typo issues.

Rick blasted you about your obvious NON-typo (or rather, your denial of it).
Your reply then whimpers about ME. You've lost so much emotional control
that you can't even tell who you're arguing with.

It's just Usenet, Bill. It's not that big a deal. I truly wish I'd never
noticed your original mistake (only did because it invoked MY user name). I
was really very light-hearted about it -- after all, it was just a "fun"
topic not something "serious" -- until you reacted so freaking defensively.
One last time, all you had to do was admit you left a few extra words (the
"Sorni says:" attribution with no corresponding text) OR that you replied to
wrong post and just didn't snip enough. That would have ended it.

Only on usenet would two complete and utter idiots like you and Rick

It meant that I missed the two or three words at the start of a line
indicating that it was an attribution line, which could have been
avoided if I read the text more carefully, to see if there actually
was something worth keeping on a line that primarily consided of
Sorni's mindless crap.

You really ought to invest in a spell checker, Bil...you've written
"rediculous", "irrelavant", "appology", and a few others I saw

Do you think I'm going to waste time fixing my erratic typing on short
replies to you two morons? You morons aren't work the effort of
running the checker.
