Did you intentionally add a misspelling to the quote?

What misspelling???

I'm sorry, I'm kidding! In fact, I had put the quote in by cut and paste, I would imagine solipsist must have come back later and fixed his click to a clique. I just edited my post to fix my click to a clique as well, to see whether editing a post updates the time stamp on it. It does not.

Editing a post is marked by an asterisk after the original-time.

My apologies. That's an entirely plausible explanation which didn't occur to me.

Rule of thumb: if a paragraph contains more than twenty consecutive correctly spelt words, I did not write it.
