Well, ppl do make mistakes. Law of averages for the many informative post that member makes. Is there a reason for amplification... naw. All is good.
Of course you're right Johne but they should also be held accountable.
I would have hoped for more from Maria based upon most of her other posts that I've read. I can only imagine if a poster not held in such high regard as she is had posted the same OP and been so simply and easily proven wrong, and the tone. I doubt that they would be given a pass like she has received.
All is not good as you state but I guess it does not matter at least until someone else gets put over the flames for something someone like Maria gets away with.
