    Believe me, that was deliberate. Also, you may want to remove extra " from your reply. And no, I am not being pedantic. ;P

    Your time will come, if you let it be right.

    If there's one thing I can't stand it's nit-picking pedantry.

        Why the colon? Surely if it's part of a numbered list you should have a period instead of a colon, no? Also should a numbered list have a period at the end of each list item? :wtf:

              If it's a rule, then it should be in the imperative, i.e. Let pedantry be encouraged.

              That looks suspiciously like VB to me: Let pedantry = encouraged.

                  Lovely, So this is you... Pedant Troll[^]. In his imagination, pedant troll is the very exemplar of reason, balance and moderation. He feels effortlessly superior to the ridiculous, extremist, purblind fool whose blog he haunts, and whom he likes to put down with his killer sarcasm, weapons-grade pedantry and niggling little quibbles masquerading as constructive criticism. If he were really as brilliant as he thinks he is, he would at the very least have a major blog of his own by now, and more likely be King of the World. Strangely, he has yet to achieve either of these things. :rolleyes: :suss:

                    Maybe, but I wouldn't call you an extremist purblind fool. I was thinking more along the lines that code doesn't tolerate fuzzy and that we drive users nuts when we harass them for clarification on their loose requirements language.
