I'm not sure about the morality of editing someone's comment just to prove a dubious point. A few presses of the back button in Firefox, however, does allow me to see what I originally posted. I suppose I will have to start caching these things so I don't just sound like a sore loser in future. But then, I'm not particularly sure I'm that keen on leaving any further comments if that is your policy on editing comments. Very odd.

I do feel obliged to point out that, in an effort to cover his tracks, Geeklawyer has changed the spelling of "judgment" in the first line of his post. This does, however, seem a fairly futile gesture, especially in view of the fact that he has failed to do it in the third line from the end. So now he is not only wrong, he's also inconsistent. Bravo! No problem, Ruthie; I thought someone should correct the poor fellow (we take 10% off a student’s essay if they misspell “judgment”.)

Oh dear... another solecism.... blaming a spell checker.... excellent. As you know - I can spell. My fingers cannot always co-ordinate with my mind late at night - the evidence is spattered about on many of your comments sections. I may well pop in and have a look at your blog tonight... I am dining tonight with topers and imbibers and gourmands. (I am not a gourmand - nor a gourmet - but, sadly, the Bollo have removed Liver and Bacon from the menu so I am not seeking counselling.

Yes targeting the head cheese is always fun: particularly when they are out of the loop and it descends from a clear blue sky :) Oh I’m not expressing hostility to a sensibly drafted Tomlin Order over any other options at all, I’ve drafted them many a time; I merely meant that litigation is a profitable (for me) waste of punters time.
