    I remember the 15 corrections moving on the wire within seconds...

    Mods, could we maybe take this down considering this error was made by one of our board members? He probably feels bad enough and doesn't need this a few threads below his own thread.

    Why? It's a minor error. A funny one, but a minor one.

    This is perhaps an example why you try not to lede with weather...

    The notion that we should lock a thread because one of our own made a mistake and feels bad about it is absurd.

    There isn't a person here who hasn't made a mistake that has them feeling like crap the next day. It might not be as memorable as this one and it might not be so funny that it gets emailed out to everyone you know, but we've all been there.

    Remember this mistake forever, so you don't make the next one. I'm guessing the next gamer will get another couple proofreads before you send it in and that's never a bad thing, for any of us.

    Well we already had a thread about it. That's all. Combine the two or remove one, no point to have both.
