Machzer0,

"It's a hypothetical so it's not relevant. what we know is that the [management] refused to [make necessary investments in equipment] and the company was then forced into liquidation."
brackets are mine

Hmm...

Interesting that the only argument you can make is to misrepresent and misquote what others have said. Very interesting indeed.

You do realize that changing one's quotes as though they wrote it is against the rules, right? I suggest you edit it, otherwise I have to report it.

Even when such changes are clearly marked in standard ways?

Changed. It's a distinction without a difference, but if it makes mod's jobs easier I'll deal with the silliness.

There's nothing standard about what you did

One could still look at the quote and believe it was Mach's words. They'd hae to click on the actual link to see that it was not.

The easiest way to do something like that is to say "what you're saying can be worded differently to say the exact opposite and still be true" or something to that extent.

You may think it's silliness, but it's caused a lot of problems in the past.

What a strange country I live in
Washington state just legalized marijuana now twinkies and ho hos are going away
Proof once again that no good deed goes unpunished

Can't weed and Hostess munchies just get along?

There is no link there anymore, nor attribution to anyone. Furthermore, the text in the brackets is explicitly stated to be my own.

We could only hope for such a perfect union!

Prior to your edit, it wasn't and there was a link. Note that my post that you're responding to was back right after the edit, not recently. Your edit fixed the issue.

OK, I thought you were saying post edit it was still an issue. Misunderstanding then.

I can definitely see where you'd get that idea though. The first line is answering the first question in your post.

Ah well...water under the bridge as they say.
