Just note that I may have gotten some of the historical facts wrong, because I was speaking to the best of my knowledge. No Strings Attached™ and please don't cite what I said on the Wikipedias because it wasn't a Reliable Source™. ;-) [1] Regarding getting the joke - often humour gets lost in writing, and, plus, I'm especially susceptible to this I think (but not sure). > > I do just want to point out that the blog post you dug up (I did too!) > was Simon's, not mine. > Which blog post and by dug up do you mean "found" or do you mean "liked" (as in "I totally dig chocolate chip cookies."), or something else? Sorry, but I sometimes have problems understanding such idioms (and I'm not a native speaker of English).
