Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted April 28, 2012 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Almost adroitly worded. So how about getting it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octal Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Funny how you said you don't know who told you to apologize, and not who to apologize to. There are about 220 members, so ducats only has a 1/220 chance of apologizing to the correct person, right? Unless, as proper grammar should indicate, "that" is not a personal pronoun, and consequently "that told me to" does not mean that a person told him, but rather that an inanimate object, "the board" in this instance, told him to. And therefore this is a thread as an apology to the whole board. Apologizing to the whole board makes it a 220/220 chance. Pretty good odds. Well that was fun, wasn't it?
