Not spend our entire lives trying to prove that someone said or didn't say something in a previous post. That sort of "arguing" drives me to distraction. People change their minds; people post with a whole list of unwritten assumptions; people post quickly without thinking things entirely through. All of these could cause someone to appear to contradict themselves (I know, I do it all the time), but point it out but don't make a career out of proving it.
