If it had been what I meant to say, I would have.

I know, it's a lot to expect for you to read the handle attached to the
message that appears not only in the thread tree, but in both the header and
in the body when you first hit "reply" whether on Google or your newsreader.

So which is it, are you claiming they didn't fuck up or are you just falling
over backwards to make excuses for them motivated by some band-of-brothers
nonsense?

So, the singer - the performer people are tuning in to see, and in this case
I'll bet got the highest ratings that show has had in a year - who's gotten
into the groove is supposed to put the brakes on and have to find it again
because the engineer was asleep at the switch? As it was, at least the
12-year-old girl was a pro and kept plowing through.

You can't even admit someone made a mistake mixing the Ellen Degeneres Show.
Which by dint of deafness or pig-headedness makes your claim of credibility
utterly trivial.

Given what you *don't* call a screw up, I can only imagine what has to
happen for you to label it thusly. Reminds me of when the Challenger was
blown to smithereens, and the pieces were still falling into the ocean, the
NASA guy referring to it as an "anomaly".

Any of your kinfolk work for Morton-Thiokol or NASA?

Good.
