Someone -- philman? -- just a day or so ago threw Sun Tzu at me.
It's considered polite that if you speak of someone you do them the courtesy of adding them in your ping. And how petty is your supposed confusion as to who you're speaking about when this is the very thread and this is the very page where Sun Tzu got thrown at you. Truly sad.

Here are the statistics cut-n-pasted from my Fogbow profile.
I don't doubt that it's your current account/profile under that particular screen name.
Do you know what a "retread" is? You could have 10 different accounts over there for all anyone knows, each under a different screen name. You're a newbie wherever you go, aren't you.

Whatsamatter, philman? Afraid someone's gonna talk some trash about you behind your back? My "confusion" is simply a result of the fact that I didn't bother to go looking for it, because who posted it was utterly irrelevant to the point. The point was about what Sun Tzu said, not which screen name the quote was originally associated with. This is exactly the same sort of pettiness you whined about to Jeff Winston a couple of days ago. You're just going to have to get used to the fact that you're not relevant to everything that goes on around here.

The thought crosses my mind that if you think you need to be in the loop every time 7/10s of your screen name is uttered at FR, then you have serious esteem issues. I don't say you do, I only say the thought has suggested itself.

Note that the conversation was not about you and therefore there was no need to include you in it.

Exactly as I predicted. Some people here will reach for any excuse to evade disfavorable evidence. That's exactly why I said posting a screenshot would have been a waste of time. You've prepared all you excuses ahead of time.
