But you DID think "Best Buy was a nationally known camera store (B&H)."

Sandman
No, I did not. That's an incorrect statement. I was talking about Best Buy the entire time, but I accidentally typed "B&H" for whatever reason I can't explain myself.

Eric Stevens
You started off by reading my use of B&H as referring to a store 'in the Loop'

Sandman
What do you mean by your use?

Eric Stevens
I thought I was the first to introduce B&H in Message-ID: <s69rk9dqeaov7ksrm8v5uo7cpkrpn5ln81@4ax.com>but I nowsee that Tony beat me to it.

It took several prods from others for you to wake up and acknowledge your error.

Sandman
No, just one, this one:

"We have already established that Jonas has mixed up and misidentified a Florida Best Buy as B&H Photo Video of NYC. B&H has no presence in any State other than NY. Its global online reach negates that necessity."

That was the post that made me see my error. This is my response:

Sandman Re: Colonial Photo & Hobby 04/19/2014 <slrnll5o04.i52.mr@irc.sandman.net>

"Wow, my bad. You know, I didn't even stop to think about it. I have been talking about Best Buy, yes. Sorry about the confusion."

Eric Stevens
You missed Message-ID: <2014041719593639934-savageduck1@REMOVESPAMmecom>

"B&H is a massive store, the furthest from *very tiny* that anybody could possibly imagine. Take a look at their store information video at full screen. <http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/HelpCenter/NYSuperStore08.jsp >

Message-ID: <a7v5l9ldrvqkll4s7pmgt9kf00orrfl1br@4ax.com>"There is only the one B&H and that is in New York. You have already told us you have never been there.

Message-ID: <pc66l9larjcl112f5rrs16acc702ukargp@4ax.com>"There is only one B&H, and it is in New York City."

Sandman
fully aware of the size of B&H. I was at on in the Florida Loop. It wasn't "massive", but sure, it's a big store.

Eric Stevens
Are you talking about the B&H in New York?"

Message-ID: <2014041815195625550-savageduck1@REMOVESPAMmecom>"We have already established that Jonas has mixed up and misidentified a Florida Best Buy as B&H Photo Video of NYC. B&H has no presence in any State other than NY. Its global online reach negates that necessity.

Now we just have to see if Jonas acknowledges his error."

Sandman
I didn't misread once, and mistyped five times. Or rather, I didn't "mistype" as in misspelled. I just didn't stop to think that perhaps "B&H" isn't an abbreviation of "Best Buy", since it's not the correct letters, and contains an "&". I just typed without thinking, and I have no problem admitting to my error.

Eric Stevens
Flannel flannel flannel.

Do you expect anyone to actually believe that?

... and I gently prodded you at least twice ...

Sandman
How? All I remember is you asking me if I've been to NY, which told me nothing about the matter, given the fact that I had no idea B&H was NY-only.

Had you said "Eh, Sandman, B&H exists only in NY, are you really writing this correctly", then you would have "prodded" and helped me find my error.

Eric Stevens
See above.
