I beg to differ. Everybody knows that the bird is the word.

I suspect most people here have been quoted in this way. I know I have. It is no big deal. First, the original is right there to see. Second, if you think it has been taken out of context you are free to quote yourself to restore the context.  
I always assume that someone responding to only one small part of a post of mine means they either agree or can’t rebut the rest of it.

I dunno about that. Before Scarlett O’Hara was banned, she had [the longest flounce in SDMB History.](http://dailymischief.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/650-Scarlett-OHara.jpg)

As for the O.P’er, you might want to stop by Walgreen’s on the way home and pick up an Ace bandage for your ankle. Stomping it petulantly for this long may well cause swelling.

:dubious:
