LRR, Well if it was a suggestion, that was not made clear. They "maybe" was there, and the "This is my last post" was there. I am willing for a truce to prevail but, do not understand what me saying "maybe" has anything to do with anything. I don't expect E, or anyone else to make a last post about anything. I just think that the subject of this particular confrontation has been beaten to death, and for the good of the thread, should be ended. I will back away as gracefully as I can, but won't eat crow, and don't think she is really asking me to. I am not sure what it will take but, will be as cooperative as possible. ~H~

This is my read:

If they don't all SHUT UPPP!! I'm coming over and kickin' some nitpick'n butt.

How's that for ambiguous - NOT!

This is the all time funniest misunderstanding that has ever been on SI. Really. I am ROLFMH0.

Haqi, I see the misunderstanding clearly now, and think I can explain it clearly.

This is what I wrote, pasted:

I will give you the last word... I will stop posting as soon as you say, maybe at the beginning and end of a post, "This is my last post...

and this is what you thought I wrote. Note that all I am changing is the punctuation!:

I will give you the last word... I will stop posting as soon as you say maybe at the beginning and end of a post. This is my last post....

Haqi, I think you and I can have a good laugh at this together.
