Just like most ordinary parrot-heads I check-in with BuffetNews almost daily to see what's happening (you can easily see that I have been registered with BN since April 8, 2003), but it is because of people like jackiesic and LIPH that I do not post often. It seems to me that there are many here at BN who are just out to embarrass, shame and just make some folks feel uncomfortable by pointing out errors.
I am only an ordinary parrot-head in Denver, I would absolutely like for Jimmy to come to Denver for a concert. I have not been able to afford to travel to see him since Saturday, September 20th, 2003 in the Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. I have been to see Jimmy in Vegas several times; however my inadequate finances the past several years have not permitted such expenditures.
I guess, I just don't understand why, some people here are out to scour each post for errors, and then point them out. It does not make sense to me. I truly think that the majority of us ordinary average "parrot-heads" come here to catch up with latest news and to spend a few minutes enjoying the escape-ism that Mr. Buffett provides us all through his music, lyrics and lifestyle.
Personally I think BN has lost much of it's allure because of the harshness of many members. However, the humor and humility of many will keep me visiting. Moreover, I have indeed met many good folks here at BN. Thanks to them I will most likely continue to visit, but my posting days are done.

P.S. - Mr. McAnally, please except my sincerest apologies for misspelling your name. In addition, Mr. Buffett, if you can arrange it, Denver would love to have you pay us a visit, even though a few of us tend to misspell a few words.
Disclaimer - Any and all misspelled words are in no way intended to insult, offend, upset, displease, irritate, infuriate, bother, annoy, madden, aggravate, exasperate, frustrate, or otherwise rub someone the wrong way. I beg that any person who does take exception to misspelled words please not mention the infraction.

That was intended as humor... not to rub salt in your wounds.
Here's my 2 cents on the above post... I don't think they were slamming you, I think that was
their silly attempt at humor. My guess is they'd make the same reply to whomever posted it, even the best of their friends, not to embarrass or shame, but to poke fun.
Not having a personal connection to them, I guess some find it annoying to be corrected, but to me, they're just playing with you. I know that's what I was doing!
The best response might be
!
The spelling police and grammar police used to visit often... wonder what ever happened to them?
Anyway, please don't take that kind of stuff personally, and continue to enjoy posting whatever's on your mind.
