***You made the same mistake.

Putting the aspect of Jeb's possible political, personal, professional gain ( and suspected exploitation ) at the beginning of the statement, with "doing the right thing" as an afterthought, as an "oh by the way it's the right thing to do despite the fact that the evil K. Rove told you to do it for the BFEE...as they say at DU.

I made LOTS of mistakes as a newbie. I STILL screw up.***

I did not make a mistake. I put it at the beginning because it was the subject upon which you were criticizing the dude. I noted that it was secondary to doing the right thing. How does that make "doing the right thing" an afterthought?

Anyway, we're just arguing semantics now. A woman's life is on the line and we're worried about in which order someone hit the keys on the keyboard. I'm not saying I never screw up, or that the newbie worded his post perfectly, I'm just saying, ease up a lil! =P (see? the smilie face makes everything ok!)

prayers for Terri
(placed at the end for emphasis, not afterthought) =)

Construct, order of emphasis, etc., is VERY important on fast moving threads of great importance, with more and more people skimming or speed reading to keep up with broadband posting...I read AND type slow.

But please note the trolls banned in this thread alone today. I'm sure the mods are swamped...hence NEWBIES need to be SPEED LEARNING and THICK SKINED today.

'Nuf said. Not trying to be a jerk.
