Thanks for clearing that up. I did notice on that other thread you already had two more posts pointing out to other people that you thought of it first.
Guys, can we all chip in and buy this guy a special ribbon or something?
As many can agree, especially those in a legal profession, words (and the occasional emoticon) are all that can be used in a forum such as this to portray one's thoughts on a subject. Therefore, the choosing of those words is tantamount to this experience. That being said:
One cannot claim to make a "wild assed guess" and "notice on that other thread" a prior posting, both at the same time. If it was noticed to have already been suggested, restating it has no logical purpose. Situations like this could cause one to conclude that minimal reading and comprehension skills were not utilized initially.
All obvious sarcasm aside, you are welcome for me clearing that up, and everyone chipping in and buying me anything would certainly be welcomed and appreciated...[/quote]
Those were two different posts, and not at the same time. Here's the chronology: I made a wild-assed guess (not realizing that in another thread you had brilliantly and more promptly thought of it), then got your reply, then clicked on your link, then read the thread, then "did notice on that other thread" that others had usurped your originality (to your dismay, and drawing your comment), then made the smart remark about 'noticing' in reply to your reply to my reply. In that order.
You can see the whole thrilling cavalcade of events right there in your various quotes.
And I'm not in any legal profession, so if you're trying to be mean to an attorney you got the wrong guy.
Minimal (and maybe even better) reading and comprehension skills were indeed utilized initially and throughout. All obvious sarcasm aside, you are welcome for clearing that up.
And you really did say the 'from the ashes' thing first, I swear, and good on you. I'm not sure it was super-important to anyone else.
I'm still almost sure I was right about the 'St. Paul's Cathedral' thing, though.[/quote]
And in closing, it is quite ironic that you opted to spend considerable time piling on more disdain and pointing out your opinion of how "super important" all this was, in what appears to be a manner that is "super important" to you...
