I don't know why you're making a big stink over a minor correction I
made. don't see correcting a typo as dishonest.

You changed it. Then you represented the doctored version *as
original*.

Oh yeah? What about the medieval heretical sect that was
founded because a monk mistakeny wrote "The LORD is immoral"?

I mean, they had a good time and all, right up until the
Inquisition, but it didn't work out well for them.

The monk came out of the archives, his face ashen.".... the word was
CelebRate...."

Which joke never worked for me, knowing full well that
being celibate was never a requirement before the Council
of Trent. And even there, although "caelibatus" is in the
Latin of the proceedings, as is also the word "celebratus",
there would be no way to confuse the two in context.

Sorry, no joke. The subject material wasn't serious. But like many posts
here, my response was a riff on an obvious typo. For you to pretend you
never made the typo by fixing it in your subsequent response is
dishonest. It violates a basic trust we need to be able to talk to each
other in this forum.

ok,

I was thoughtless in fixing that typo.

prolly should have left alone, but I didn't think anyone would make a
big whoo-ha over a letter, least all from you!

calling someone dishonest & lying is really going too far with that
insinuation and over a god damn letter!
