"Jefferson finally emancipated his five most trusted slaves.":   Rig, quoting the beloved Wikipedia.

Gee, Greg, how many barnacles are on that sunken ship of yours?   Can't possibly be as many as you yourself are festooned with. Your postings must be the all-time worst graveyard for ships.

As as I've said, all you'd have to do to avoid further embarrassment is actually to think before hitting "send". Seems a reasonable request.

As I've also noted elsewhere,, you must be the only Mudcatter who's never made a mistake.   I can't imagine any other reason why you've never admitted an error.   Couldn't possibly be a tender ego.
