Catch me up, I can't quite follow...how did you eat crow and what kind of replies are you looking for? :p
(eating crow on this one is tough, whichever side you started on and whichever side you flipped to -- highly emotionally charged story, so I salute you for admitting you're eating crow, but am interested as to which bit you're chewing on)
Oh crap...I eat crow on a weekly basis :) I posted early in the thread (I think post #8) a retort from Tom Smart: "It's a beautiful story". Illbay jumped in and said that Tom never said that and that FReepers made it up. I took back my statement as I couldn't find anything backing it up. Today I found the transcript from Larry King where Tom said "It's a wonderful story". I posted the transcript and haven't heard boo from anyone that took issue with me. Still waiting......
