You just infringed my patent on making unprovoked stupid mistakes in
posts to the Pg mailing lists!

I thought I had a protected monopoly on appearing stupid in these posts.

[MORE SERIOUSLY]
Such mistakes are so easy to make! One knows what one has written, so
one does not check adequately!

Recently I made 3 silly mistakes in about five lines, but fortunately,
someone was able to decode what I had written and said it was useful.

(Patent trolling is becoming really big business, so it would not
surprise me if someone actually patented a sophisticated version of the
patent I pretended to have above!)

Cheers,
Gavin
