It was a severe response where none was called for.
she had said something that was untrue, when she thought she was "correcting" me. i'm just supposed to let that pass? what kind of marketplace of truth do you think this is?
By the way, you forgot the rest of your message.
you mean the part where i patiently explained to her just exactly what she got wrong? you mean that part? -bowerbird

You *also* said something that was untrue when you thought you were "correcting" me. -------------------------------------------------------------------
i knew somebody who wasn't thinking was gonna fall into that exact trap, and -- sure enough -- it took joey 8 minutes.

i highlit that, but you weren't quick enough to get it: when _you_ select-all and copy out of a .pdf, do you get back _your_ "master" -- i.e, the original .tei file?
...
so you weren't paying enough attention, joey.
I was plenty "quick enough" to catch that you're very impressed with your ability to "round trip" files. I was also "quick enough" to know that I find that a spurious goal, and thereby ignore it. And yet, you seem to think that I should let *that* pass, simply because we're in "a marketplace of truth"? Why is it that you're the only one that is allowed to feel offended and aggrieved in this "marketplace of truth"?
