GNU....
I'll give you a hand... It hurts to see you struggle, not being able to let go of the injustice done to you.
Here's all the help you need. (at the bottom.. I highlighted it so that you would be able to find it!)
The pressure was just too much. I cannot handle it any more. Seeing other people becoming the victim of my unfortunate choice of words is just too much to bear.
Confession by Cloggy
Dear readers..
I was wrong to write "fully". The obvious interpretation out of all the possible interpretations of that word was - like you said - "perfectly". How could anyone have missed it. I stand corrected and sincerely hope that in this apology I do not use any words that can be interpreted in any matter other that it was intended by me...
GNU.
You have done a wonderful job in tracking down the true interpretation of the sentence that was buried under 1000+ posts. YOU managed to find it and it is highly appreciated.
Below the proof of GNU's correct assumption. There was room for wider interpretation, but that is not the point.
Again, I stand corrected.
With truefully sorry regards
