Sorry Zinn- you stuck up for me and I cut you down. That's poor etiquette. My apologies.

Barry,

The phrase is "doesn't anybody take..."

No cut Barry. I caught the error and edited at the same time you were posting. BUT you did miss the missing "s" at the end of the word "times"

I meant "everybody", as in "don't we all take pride." It works.

Barry,

This grammar stuff must be a snap for you, but my problem is the more I look at it...the more confused I become.

Okay Zinn, if Peter C. has been reminded many times of his grammatical mistakes and not corrected them then why continue to do so? Is he being graded on his posts?

And to keep this on topic - Michael O'Keeffe is STILL a crappy writer who doesn't check his facts.

Peter- I actually check my posts before I respond, but sometimes I miss errors and I think it may be a visual problem. I may transpose two letters and despite rereading I miss it anyhow. Maybe that's a "getting older" kind of thing.

I have to agree with the criticism of Peter on his inability to understand the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. Honestly, as an attorney it stuns me.

Guys,

I suppose that being in CA I may have become too lax in my grammar. But I do know the difference between "your" possessive and "you're" which is a conjunction. But I only know the difference because I just looked it up.

Peter

It's only a mild annoyance to me, but I guess if you guys are that bothered about Peter C's misuse of "Your" and "You're" then by all means continue to correct him. I would guess that after the 10th time correcting him you guys would get the hint that perhaps he either doesn't care, doesn't get it, or he enjoys pushing your buttons.

Thanks David, it is a contraction.

And you know what- looking something up is not cheating. Everyone should look up a word if they think they misspelled it.

David,

However, conjunction sounds fancier and is closer to being right than I normally am.

Jeff,

We both know New York attorneys make more...but that's because your grammar is better than mine.

But I'm learning...see I used "your" correctly this time.


Peter

Aren't there any Italians in Brooklyn, Barry? You need to come to one of my trials.

Yikes...I wasn't even close on that one. I guess I never saw it in print.

Italians in Brooklyn? I think there might be a few.

Jeff, by the way, have you done any trials in the Brooklyn Supreme Court? I live just a few blocks away.

I've had a number of cases there...but never a trial. Many in the federal court in Brooklyn just a few blocks from Schermerhorn Street.

Bob,

Thanks for the link above. This is a great line that Leon can use in the future, "If you don't shutup, I'm going to bust your frickin head open with a baseball bat, capice."

It would be quite a change for our usually mild moderator dude.

Peter

It's sad to see that what should be a very serious topic of discussion has turned into this. And people wonder why myself and others think Net54 has become a joke when it comes to getting serious about going after the unethical things that go on int he hobby.

Jay- no reason to feel sad that we strayed off topic.

Feel free to get us back on track. Several posters stated the book was sensational trash, so I think at that point our attention spans drifted.

Someone check with Bruce D. and find out what the proposed punishment should be for going OT or making jokes after a thread has gone stale.

but I'm with Jay on this one. I haven't read the book and would like to get some feedback or insight into either it or the players. It is disappointing to open the thread to look for this kind of information and simply see the same few people hijacking into the same sorry topics that are, believe it or not, completely uninteresting to some/most/nearly all? of us. Why not simply start your own thread? Plan another freaking NY dinner--that ought to keep you occupied.

I don't think that anyone was prevented from posting on the original topic of the thread but for some reason this thread did not gain steam. One would have thought this was going to be the most damaging bit of information to hit the hobby and it turned out to be a non event. I have heard from several who have read it that it was a farce. The author said very little that was not already mentioned here anytime the Wagner has been brought up. Sounds like he failed to really prove much aside from tell a story with lots of inaccuracies. If you want to do a tell all, I think ya really have to be able to provide proof. He said she said carries no weight.

Truthfully, I would like to know more about the book, too. I haven't read it and when this thread was first started I expected to see quite a bit of fireworks. I even passed that comment along to Leon.

But instead of discussing its contents, the few people who read it just dismissed it as trash. So why is anybody surprised the thread was hijacked? For whatever reason, nobody felt like discussing it.

Some people have claimed, but noone has offered any photographic proof, that the Wagner card is trimmed. Bill Mastro denies it. The people who allegedly have proof won't come forward with it. Did I miss anything else? Oh yeah, the Wagner has a Piedmont back.
