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?

Eric Stevens
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.

Your line length has gone to hell again. Are you having trouble managing your news reader?

Sandman
Remember, Eric, that I was talking about Best Buy, I knew there was a Best Buy at the loop, and I knew everything I needed to know about Best Buy. My only mistake was to write "B&H" instead.

And people thought there was something wrong with that.

Eric Stevens
But you were so confident in your own infalibility that you charged straight on taking it for granted that everyone else was confused.

Sandman
Get over yourself - Everyone else *WAS* confused. I wasn't confused about where I had been or what I was talking about. I just mistyped. That confused everyone else because you ALL thought I actually was talking about B&H.

So if I keep calling you Jonathan you would regard that as mistyping? Gercha!

There was no confusion on my part, I wasn't uncertain about what store I had visited, or the size of its camera section. Mistyping, even multiple times, is not a sign of confusion.

But calling it the wrong name certainly was.

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?

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

Sandman
Oh, I *wish*. Then I'?get rid of your trolling and misinformation. Please, pretty please.
