that what you were doing? I had to read it a few times to understand it.

I'm not writing a PhD thesis when I type a post on pprune thus it doesn't warrant as much attention.
I can see and comment on someone doing a crappy job of painting a house when they have been paid to do so, I don't need to be a master painter to comment.
No, but if you point out flaws in someone else's paint job while standing beside a crap paint job of your own, expect some people to pick you up on it. Since you claim you write for a living and proof-read your work until it's correct I'd have thought that same "rigour" and discipline would naturally filter through to your posts here, thus my amusement at the irony of your dig at others.
What, by the way, do you write? Do you have anything published we might peruse?
