I apparently made a mistake in snipping. Sorry.

What trade are you proposing, that you will remove the "" at the beginning of all the subject lines you rename if I never
make another mistake? It's a deal!


Wait! Don't take that deal. I'm not a lawyer, but I do play one on usenet.

Based on the terms of your proposed deal "if I never make another mistake"
means that Stormy doesn't have to remove the "" until you "never make
another mistake". We won't know if that has happened until the end of time.

Well, at least until the end of your time if we are speaking in the terrestrial
sense, even longer if we believe in an after-life.

Your deal should be structured such that Stormy will remove the "" *now*
based on your promise not to make another mistake, along with a clause that
states what will happen if you do.

Stormy, based on the advice of my esteemed counsel I hereby wish to withdraw my previous proposal and submit the following
for your consideration if approved by DerbyDad03:

"From the moment you, Stormin Mormon, agree to this proposal; when changing a subject line for any reason you, Stormin
Mormon, conceive you will remove the " " at the beginning of the new subject line. This is not limited to only the " "
at the beginning, but any and all indication that there was a prior original post. And I, Gordon Shumway (my name is as real
as Stormy's too) will never ever admit to another mistake for the rest of my life."

Does that new proposal pass your inspection Derbydad03?

P.S.: Your retainer is in the mail.
