Does it help much at all....?

I lost track......am I the hairsplitter

Well, I don't follow you around reading all your posts and watching for you to post stuff I can bîtch and moan about or anything, but I can't say I've ever seen you post a frothy mix of baseless certitude, guesses, assumptions, and finely-chopped and lightly-toasted facts. I also don't recall ever seeing you try to stir up dumb arguments that don't contribute helpfully to answering whatever question is at hand just for the sake of stirring up dumb arguments. So no, I wouldn't call you a hairsplitter or anything of the like.
