Must be annoying to have comments just pointing out typos when the intelligentsia are beating down the doors telling us how wonderful we are and we've been rescued from whatever it is they're rescuing us from. It will pass. They'll find something else to gush over soon. They won't take your passport away. After all, when it comes down to it there are only two kinds of books: good books and bad books.

I think I'd confused you for the guy on that thread who somehow thinks I live my life in a hellpit of seething envy. LOL! Still, I would prefer if someone comments for it not just to be to point out a copy-edit, but that's no reason for me to be abrupt back. "infer/imply" is one of my blindspots for some reason. Had to correct Booklife for that, too. I do appreciate it being pointed out. Seriously. Cheers, Jeff No, it’s fine–and, actually, apologies on my part.

I thought in my clumsy didactic way that I was being helpful. Ah well, the road to hell etc. The post you link to was put up <i>after</i> your "fuck you very much" reply and I cannot see what there is in it that should cause you such offence.
