ftd knew exactly what he was doing.

Guess this is where I step in. I posted the first attempt, not finding it in my search. I have been here long enough to know the ropes.
Second, I turned it around as did not understand the response for locking. Therefore, I thought as it was more of non-news item;thus, I would find the original Patton Speech and add the “piece” disputed as a comment. That was my reason.
Also, you will see that the person who had posted this story, was respectful in drawing me to that fact and then contributed to the conversation.
Often, I see this same scenario appear on threads of others, also having done a search and perhaps not finding a duplicate. Also, as I cannot be on here 24/7 (I have a life) I may missed a story of interest and was glad to read a story reported more than once.
Sorry this thread has turned into a PI$$Y form of chat. I donate to FR, so do not feel I am wasting space. If I did this duplication all the time then, of course, would expect reprimand. I try to do research for my comments to add to a story. Check my history if you are bored sometime.
Twas, not intentional..so do not say it was intentional, was confused on why it was not accepted the first time.
Now, seems like someone enjoyed this piece. Take this subject title and "do a search" and note the number of reads and responses.
If I have offended anyone with this post, then my apologies to those offended. Yes, this reaction does sour FReepers from posting!
Just don’t let me catch you misspeling any words!
