My fingers and emotions got in the way of my eyes again. Sometimes I just don't understand all I know about things. Now Google probably will store, catalog, and redistribute my mistake forever and my reputation, credit rating, and stock portfolio will probably be at risk. FWIW, my opinion of Manning remains the same however. |
