Damn you, Ducimus, I was going to get to that eventually. That was going to be my checkmate.

Crap. Now I am going to have to find elsewhere to have my fun. Or, maybe even get some work done today. Nuts.

Well i thought everyone knew that "The fed" is the gov agency that runs the show, but "The federal reserve bank" is not a government entity per say. From everything I have heard, It's an interesting mutually beneficial relationship the two have. I don't pretend to know everything, but I wouldn't doubt it in the slightest if the end goals of the people behind the federal reserve bank lay more in self interest then national interest.

All twelve of them. Negotiated and passed during a congressional recess way back when nobody was looking.

I know you're going to bite back at this, but it's not about spelling and it's not about grammar. There is no such phrase as "per say". It's "per se", and it's Latin. If you don't know what it means you probably shouldn't try to use it.

Yes, I know I'm a Nazi about this, but it's either say something or grind my teeth down to nubs. Either I can let you annoy me or I can annoy you right back.

Steve is very consistent. Good character trait.

Consistently anal?

The question is, is this consistent foolishness? Not really. Constructive criticism IMO. Or Steve being Steve as Ducimus stated.

Honestly man, I really don't care anymore. I've just accepted your going to bust out with the virtual red pen whenever the need hits you. That's fine, really. It's just Steve being Steve. If it ever really bothered me, i think i'm over it. Besides that, while i am very lightly engaged in this topic, it isn't really on my priority list of "pressing issues of the day". I still say there are better things to worry about then this. It's old, it's tired, and it's not going to effect your life.

I'm here, cause frankly, i screwing off at work, not doing my job. Speaking of which, time to flip the KVM switch back to my company laptop now and do something resembling work. PAH!

Apparently you got the drift or you wouldn't correct the spelling.

If it sets your teeth on edge, may I suggest a mouth guard?
