SandmanCossed posts, I think.

But you DID think "Best Buy was a nationally known camera store (B&H)."
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.
You started off by reading my use of B&H as referring to a store 'in the Loop'
What do you mean by your use?
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.
Yeah, that's probably what led me astray, and I just linked "B&H" to "Best Buy" which I had been to earlier. Really weird mistake, but that's probably what happened.Eric StevensSandman
It took several prods from others for you to wake up and acknowledge your error.
No, just one, this one:Savageduck Re: Colonial Photo & Hobby 04/19/2014 <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."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 >Sandman
Not at all. While I didn't click the link (which may have helped), what Savageduck wrote didn't necessarily tell me that I had them mixed up. Best Buy *IS* a massive store, but their camera section isn't.Eric StevensSandman
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.
That was posted after I had already realized and admitted to my error.
That and a number of similar messages from others should have told you there was something wrong.Eric StevensSandman

Same with this one.Eric StevensSandman

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.
Are you talking about the B&H in New York?"
This doesn't tell me I mixed them up, and the question - given that I had it in my mind that B&H = Best Buy.
To preserve your self-image.Eric Stevens

You just quoted the same post I quoted above, again, saying I "missed" it.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?Sandman
I couldn't care less. It's the truth nonetheless. Why would I lie about it?
It was a silly mistake to make either way.--SandmanEric StevensSandman
... and I gently prodded you at least twice ...
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.
Yes, please do.
