Are you second guessing me? When I say IDE I MEAN IDE.

Or maybe hard drive. Damn Freud to hell.

No, just trying to offer a possibility that actually follows the rules of the game.

Except that IDE doesn't start with an "h".

Thanks. Hard drive was my intention. You'd think it'd be easier to stop and think when you have to press a submit button.

I think you're jumping the gun a bit on that one, don't you?

Could be lack of sleep, but this isn't making any sense.

It's meant to indicate that saying IDE doesn't begin with the letter 'h' is rash w/o some careful consideration. It was an asinine comment, and you're reading too much into it.

*sigh* I must be missing something, because I don't need a dictionary to tell me that dipswitch ends with an 'h' and IDE begins with an 'i'.

Well, at least that one will go with hard drive too.

Or maybe the problem is that I wasn't reading _anything_ into it. *shrug*

Exactly. The most effort I ever put into a discussion on the internet was during my argument with Toby on political correctness, and most of that was pulling out the dictionary to figure out what the hell he was saying .
