You seem to be seriously understanding-impaired: your claim was that I
admited I was wrong, and I told you I didn't. Now you say I admit that
you didn't say "ought", with which I wholeheartedly agree, and yet you
still seem utterly oblivious to the fact that you were wrong when you
wrote I admited I was wrong...which I have never done.
Oh, well....who cares?
