twaldron

Sorry, don't understand your post. Are you saying that I should NOT have
admitted my error regarding Lon's 'its' post? I admitted my error once
it was pointed out to me that I was in error and I actually researched
it. I've never seen your friend do that.

For someone that is so disgusted by these threads, you sure spend a lot
of time on them.

Sorry, don't understand your post. Are you saying that I should NOT have
admitted my error regarding Lon's 'its' post? I admitted my error once
it was pointed out to me that I was in error and I actually researched
it. I've never seen your friend do that.

For someone that is so disgusted by these threads, you sure spend a lot
of time on them.
