    You applied a karma bonus to this inane comment of yours? Did you actually think it deserved a bonus? As you say, everyone is "entitled to fuckups." Perhaps in the future you'll refrain from stroking your ego thusly.

    I really hope you don't check to see whether he does it. That would be too wierd and I would have to assume that you had some really serious problems of your own.
