jab1 -- time to eat crow

[jab1]

You are forgiven.

I was fooled by DrFidelius, totally and completely. (crow tastes best with a light breading, baked at 350 degrees for twenty-five minutes, I've found...)

The library is open today from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M. I'll do my best to stay here the whole time. Competition for the computers can be fierce on Sundays.

The last few days have made me realize that I sometimes take things WAY too seriously and take people EXACTLY at their words too often.

I will be careful in the future. And I will make a better effort to live by my sig line.

Sorry about that, jab. You happened into the conversation when I was in a particularly, um, frivolous mood. I know I let it go too long, but what the hell.

You know, I almost wish I didn't have scruples. I think I could make a living doing that, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[Phaedrus]

DrFidelius: YOU, Sir, are a disingenuously ingenious. You had a lot of people fooled, even me, well, almost! thanks for the yucks!

jab1

I've been hoist on my own petard, so to speak. So the time for apologies has come. I apologize. I made assumptions about your access to the Internet (which were not valid), and then I based my posts upon the notion that the assumptions were valid. I was guilty of some condescension toward you, as well; based on the fact that your profile contained a factor that should give you lots of free time, I all but accused you of squandering that time. Your most recent post, which lays out the circumstances of your access to the Internet, has blown many of my assumptions out of the water, and my face is red (which, combined with the egg all over it, makes for a startlingly pleasing aesthetic effect, by the way ).

My reason for posting it here is to attempt to ensure that jab1 sees it. Today being Sunday, I don't expect he will have access to it before tomorrow. Please bear with me here until jab1 makes some sort of response.

I'm not sure if I was "fooled," but I certainly was confused for a few posts. I almost went back to re-read the whole thread, just so I could make sure I knew where Dr. Fidelius stood!

In any case, I have to give Jab1 a pat on the back: you've given an excellent example of how to "take it in stride." Welcome to the board!

Yes jab, welcome. Hellfire, even The Wife doesn't put up with me being an ass for that long...

[tracer]

Well, of course not. If you're an ass to The Wife, she automatically assumes you don't love her anymore and divorces you.

Not that I'm bitter.

[Dirty Devil]

Dr F. - I just re-read the entire Kansas Board thread. "Brilliantly devilish" is all I can say. You had me very, very confused, and I'm real glad I didn't jump in. I'll read everything you post from here on out with that little extra grain of salt on my tounge. Nice work.

As I told you, Doc, you're going to have to start borrowing some of Dex's sigs or disclaimers.
