What I don't get is how people can't seem to comprehend that I didn't say
that. You went right by my explanation of the whole quote and used the
out-of-context quote again. That a mistake was made is okay, but the same
one over and over? I don't get it (Ooooooooo....).

Very odd - so odd one most wonder if she could in fact be mistaken? Read my
post that Katie originally responded to. Tell me specifically why you think
it is a "recruitment poster" (I hear Larry laughing his butt off somewhere).
I can respond to that. If you can come up with something concrete, let me
know. Vague insinuations just muddy the waters further.
