Kage, my reference to March was to the saying "March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion." or "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." Baaaaaa. You don't have to wait until March for an apology, you get your apology now -- for what it's worth.
Executive Summary: Yes, I did incorrectly attribute material to Kage that was not only not his, but which he opposed. Kage, I apologize for my mistake -- and you were right. I did ignore a previous post in which you tried to tell me that I was making incorrect attributions, thus adding insult to your injury. Long threads are a shortcoming of mine. I don't go back as far and thoroughly as I should.
The Pissing Contest: Kage, I have an exhaustive analysis of this problem as a Word document. No one but you would possibly be interested in it and I doubt that you would be interested in it. Two things though, both concerning quotes. I'd recommend an attribution and an actual cut and paste for a complicated quote structure rather than relying on Anandtech's quote function. I found your post of 11/20 at 1:37 p.m. confusing. Now, I admit that confusion is my problem, not yours. But your post is a series of unattributed quotes. At least four separate quotes interspersed with what by what may, or may not be your comments or the quotes of others quoting material. Are the quotes from the same thread? From the same person? I don't know by reading your posts. Maybe this is par for the course in this board but I find it confusing. Second, your entire post for 11/21, 7:45 a.m., lock, stock and barrel (but skipping the signature) is:
Post starts
?"yes, that's because israel has one of world best army.
and several larger Arab countries is all talk.
so far only arab county that put their words in action when fighting with enemy is parkistan"
*waits patiently for Whitling to criticize more views on history*
Post Ends
No attribution, no nothing. Gee, you might see how I got confused here. I thought you said the stuff in your post was your stuff.
To end my part of the pissing contest, Kage, you're right. But think a little about your use of quotes. Some of us have trouble keeping up. I do acknowledge that the problem of keeping up is mine, not yours. If the board in general finds your posts worth responding too, maybe I have a problem I need to deal with. Anybody know of a newsgroup 12 step program?
