Steve, I already conceded that I was mistaken. Did you
fail to read my response to your correction in which I
said: "Quite correct. My bad."?

What is your point? I made a mistake, you corrected me,
I acknowledged your correction. What do you want, a medal?

Here. You failed to get it the first time, so for your
sake I'll say it again. I mistakenly said ZMP Approach
when I meant Minneapolis Approach. Is that clear enough
for you?

> How many lurkers do you suppose wondered what "ZMP Approach" was?

Who cares? I'm willing to bet that most of them understood
contextually what I meant.

It's nitpicking crap like this that makes people uneasy
about voicing their opinion in a public forum. Is there
a reason you have to drive someone into the ground instead
of just politely correcting them and moving on with life?

Wait. Let me say it again (for the third time): I used
ZMP Approach when I should have used Minneapolis Approach.
It was a mistake. I know better. I knew better then. My
mind was more on recalling the event and I failed to
proofread the post sufficiently to catch the error. Thank
you very much for pointing it out (multiple times, even,
in case I missed your first correction!).

Are we done yet? Or do you still not grasp that I
acknowledge your correction as being correct?

Brett
