I would have played it the same way if I was in the position you were. Lets (oh, ****, forgot the apostrophe) get away from the topic of not knowing what I am talking about and change the focus to a typo on an internet forum. Great.

I dug around and found your wonderful source of knowledge and enlightenment (did I spell that right?). In the future, you would be wise not to pass off a "column" as an "article". Surely that mistake is more egregious (sp?) than subsituting Your for You're (especially when i used your earlier in the same sentence).

In case anyone wanted the link to the "column". In case you didn't know, Danzig, a "column" is a reflection of the writer's opinion. A news article should just be fact.
