I came in here to say that this was my favourite but I couldn’t remember whose it was – and your post was the last one on the thread. Spooky!

Ok, who’s the smartass?
I had originally misspelled advice, and posted too quickly.
I posted again to point out that indeed I do know the bare minimums of grammar, and spelled advice correctly.
Someone changed my advice, damnit.
If they really want to frustrate me, they’ll change it again in this post.

Ohh, I like that. I’m going to start using that as my disclaimer.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a disclaimer on the board, but my RL disclaimer is “Just remember, if I don’t know the right answer, I just make something up that sounds good.”
