You’re right, and I was thinking about lording it over others in my head. I’d never actually post “neener neener, I was right.” But in my weaker moments, I’ve certainly thought it and have taken certain pleasure in doing so.

Some people seem to enjoy ghoulishly raking through the details as if they wished they were more closely involved, or writing almost as if they knew the people involved. I do tent do stay away from those threads.
Come on, that never happens here. (FWIW, I agree. Or at least I don’t typically speculate in them, even if I do still read some of them.)
