I'm going to give you a hint. You must think you're saying
something about me when you continually mention the
fact that I slipped and said something that implied that

say to themselves that I must be an idiot for thinking
that 1 = 4, even if they're not aware of the thread where
that happened they say to themselves that I must have
just made a little blunder, and they also say to themselves
that you must be desperate, in a pathetic sort of way, to
continue brining it up.

That's exactly what I think when I see such things posted.
Nail on the head, and all that.

Tommy revels (one of several cranks that do so) in other's
supposed mistakes, in some sort of hope that it makes him
look smarter than everyone else. But since he's dwelling on
some careless mistake which is of zero importance and which
everyone else knows is just a careless mistake, it only makes
Tommy look like an idiot. Add to that his inability to spell,
capitalize, and punctuate any better than a 6-year old, and
it all makes him look like a childish idiot.

The entertainment value is wearing thin at this point.
Let it go, already, Tommy.

For sheer entertainment tommy1729/amy666 has a long uphill
struggle to simply enter the same realm as James Harris.
Probably the greatest and most compelling difference is
that James Harris expresses himself in grammatically
correct, well constructed, easily parsed, easily understood,
standard English prose. Tommy1729/amy666 can eat its heart out.
