I know what you mean—I hate gammar errors too.

Gaudere’s Law is kind of fun, though.

To clarify (in case anyone cares), **DrDeth** reported post #274, not the original post where **Shayna** used the quote boxes for whats-his-name. He has since explained that he thought the thread was in GD, not the Pit, and was reporting it for personal insults, not the whole quote thing.

Just for the record.

Politics is not a game for the weak. It is dirty and competitive. If you thought there weren’t repubs around who aspired to the highest offices, you would be wrong. There are a lot of repubs who have no intention of sitting quietly on the sidelines while Palin slowly decides the fate of the party. They will chop her down and ship her out and have fun doing it.

Ok, that’s hilarious.

Thanks for the clarification of the quote tag use, though.
