Not that sentence, no. I read a couple of books about the Mongol rise some years back and got very interested in the subject, then, in a light-hearted post to nee-BUZZ where he said he was more like 'Genghis Khan' I replied with some of the under-appreciated 'qualities' and 'good works' of the Mongol leader... and, yes, I certainly DID do a quick look-up to verify my facts before posting (particularly the point about whether Genghis himself was ever baptized, I couldn't remember if it was disputed or not, and I at first couldn't remember the name of the 'Nestorians'), and cut-and-pasted a few other sentences that seemed notable the way they summarized some of his accomplishments. After all... God help anyone who posts false information around here, eh? Glad to see that you are broadening your horizons, Diz... that's always a GOOD THING!
