Before this escalates, please step back, make your point with code and data, and don't resort to names. They do nothing to prove your point. --MidLifeXis

This is already over :) Pay close attention to the timestamps

The documentation made my point, but no, wasn't enough for Marshall, esp coming from Anonymous Monk

Marshall event went so far as to update his post without notice trying to justify his dismissive response and failing badly

He couldn't admit being wrong, didn't like being corrected, esp by Anonymous Monk

Smartalec was generous but appropriate and civil

There isn't enough time in the day to check every post to make sure someone isn't wrong on the internet, so I should have used harsher language

Your post is worse than his, you're just fanning the flames because you're just prejudiced against me

You're wrong, so here is some harsher language for you :P

You're worse than a can't-admit-when-he-is-wrong-dont-like-to-be-corrected-by-documentation-smartalec

You're a calm-down-everybody-in-an-empty-room-chicken-little-flame-fanner
