So was I.

Sandman
Make up your mind, earlier you said you knew I wasn't in reference to B&H and you were desperately trying to tell me I had the stores mixed up and I "persisted" in spite of that. Now you're saying that you thought I talked about B&H and called it tiny?

Eric Stevens
I knew there was something wrong with your reference to B&H.

Sandman
Again, why didn't you say so?

If I had been in your shoes, and people were saying to me what they were saying to you, alarm bells would have been ringing and I would have been delving into Google to find out more about B&H. But you were so confident in your own infalibility that you charged straight on taking it for granted that everyone else was confused.

Eric Stevens
Also, it never occurred to me that you would never have heard of B&H.

Sandman
I've obviously heard of it (I didn't make up the name "B&H" from out of the blue) but I didn't know they were a NY-only camera+video+computer store.

Eric Stevens
I had mentioned B&H as a store against which you could compare whatever it was you thought you had visited.

Sandman
At the time, I didn't need to "compare" it to anything, given the fact that I was in reference to Best Buy the entire time.

How much longer will you troll me about this?

Don't worry. I'm probably going to 'plonk' you.

"Uh, are you sure you're saying the correct name of the store? B&H is a NY-only store, you seem to have them mixed up"

Eric Stevens
But at that time I didn't 'know' that B&H was a NY only store.

Sandman
Oh? So when you asked me if I had been to New York, that was in no way, shape or form basis for me understanding that the store I mistakenly typed wasn't something I could have visited.

To which you would have gotten the reply:

"Oh, sorry, yeah I have them mixed up, I meant Best Buy, my bad. Thanks!"

You know, what I said *the second* I realized my error.
