Sorry about getting confused. Of course, you stated that you agreed
100% with Rick when you wrote, "Rick Onanian wrote (nothing snipped
'cuz it's just so damned good!!!" Now you are trying to disown the
idiotic statement you yourself stated was "so damned good" (thus
showing that it in fact reflected your opinion.)

Face it Sorni, you are a loser. You even lose arguments with
yourself.

???

Look at your post again, Zaumbie. You *ONCE AGAIN* replied to the wrong
post -- EXACTLY LIKE THE FIRST TIME THAT STARTED ALL THIS INSIPID
NONSENSE -- only this time without even /anything/ you attributed to me.
(The first one at least had my newsreader's auto-generated "[censored] Durbin
wrote:", which you later used to try to cover up your error.)

Now you could have just said "Sorry about getting confused...PERIOD"!!!
It's no big deal to make a mistake (although it IS deliciously ironic in
this particular case), but you just won't admit it without trying to deflect
blame or attention or whatever the hell it is you want onto someone else.

It REALLY IS OK to admit a screw-up, Bill. No one is perfect; not even you.

Hey dimwit, what do you think "sorry about getting confused" meant? I
snipped more than I thought this time, but the *first* time (your lies
notwithstanding), you were quoted correctly. In this case, I snipped
too much, but what I claimed you said was, by your own admission, actually
your opinion, and your opinion was 100% wrong.

There wasn't an error, you moron, because those words were there. The
attribution was obvious.

Given the level of person attacks from you, I'll damn well talk about
what you really meant. This dicussion has zip to do with inadvertent
errors. It is simply due to three stooges (you, Jim, and Ric) trying
to do to people figuratively what you'd be embarassed to do to each other
literally. Get over your hangups and we'll all be better off - at
least nobody would hear about it. Who knows. Maybe you'd all be in
a better mood. :-)

Same error as this time. You can't keep straight who wrote what, even when
it's nicely laid out in threads (and your supposedly foolproof newsreader

Hey moron - you agreed 100% with what the other moron said, and are

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

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.

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 [censored] up (which is obvious to anyone), but
you're incapable of it apparently.

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 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 [censored]. 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.

Quoted message said:

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.

while reviewing this thread. Maybe you can trade your color-coded

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.
