I don't believe I ever tried to exaggerate my own importance. 
Given your propensity for fiction & puffery, 't'would appear
the same can't be said for you, though. <lol>

Not to mention further feeble attempts at self-aggrandizement.

Not a thing -- on the contrary, I admire the ability to create
a complete paragraph of juvenile braggadocio in a mere 48
hours or so. }:)

<bored look> There'll eventually be a point to this sooner or
later, I suppose. <g>

"Yeah, right."  You weren't flying for it because if you were,
you weren't there.  I do frankly admire your ability to meld
11 or 12 lies together, though. <smirk>

And without, too, I might add. }:)  [You really wouldn't have
left yourself open for that one if you were as good as you
claim, kiddo. ;)]

No brag, just fact.  Search google for emotional outbursts
from me & find out, if you don't believe me.

Typos happen to everyone, & are normally of very little
consequence to people of intelligence.  I never said I didn't
make an occasional minor error by not (a) having a fizzy law
chick spill chucker or (b) being anal-retentive.
