Good call, Andy. <br /> I've been a little stressed with work, and was perhaps a little caught off guard by Jonathan's response to what I thought was a fairly inoffensive little blog post. No excuse, but there it is. Lol. Good call, Andy.

It doesn't get magically shuffled into a closet after a set amount of time. If you say something silly and publish it, it's fair game for good. There's no time limit on the internet, there's no crying in baseball, and whining in the comments of someone else's blog generally makes you look foolish. <br /> 2) My position was that you were saying something very uninformed. My readers are generally subtle enough to pick up on what I leave unsaid. I'm not going to spell out every triviality for thpse who can't be bothered to read between the lines. <br /> 3) This is my corner of the blogosphere, where I rule with an iron fist. I can say whatever the heck I want here. In fact, I can go into the database and make YOU say whatever I want by altering your comment. Obviously common courtesy keeps me from abusing my omnipotence, but if you want to pick some petty chest-beating fight with me on my own blog, I'll squash you like a bug.

Other than that, merry Xmas :-) - J. 1) you’re mischaracterising my position.
