Show some spine. Too much groveling and apologizing over the past couple of days.

You are an economist, for crying out loud. Act like one!
What I said wasn't nice. I got angry at Waters; it wasn't right.

A real economist would have concluded that there was insufficient data to determine whether you were angry at mikewaters.

Not if the economist who is determining if someone got angry is actually the potentially or possibly angered. Then the inference to be made is starkly simple and reliable. However, if I was a POT instead of a POO, I doubt I would have apologized. POTs don't need to apologize.

Does that make Triplet a POS?

Sorry ... couldn't resist.

I applaud your effort good sir.

Technically it makes zero sense, but I still want you to keep trying.

Ask your mom to tell you what POS means.

I know what it means.

It just wasnt in the flow of the original post.

pelagius was talking about himself, not me.

Like I said, keep trying. You have had a couple of good one liners here. That was not one of them. I dont mind if they are at my expense. Just make them good.
