Whatever. I'm not going to quibble over terms.


You're more than happy to quibble when it suits you.

No, you got played because you accepted a ridiculous falsehood and scurried breathlessly to this board to advertise it.


But I didn't "accept" it, Dan. Read my OP where I announced the news.

You're source, I'm quite confident, was busting a gut.


If that's the case, I was laughing right along with him/her.

You're scarcely in a position, on this matter, to pronounce me "lame." You were the sucker, not me.


Well, hey---if I was the sucker, I sure as hell got a ton of entertainment mileage out of it. "Oh, no! I got tricked into being skeptical about something!" Lol.

You really got burned by that whole affair, didn't you?
