Actually, YOU made the "small mistake". Actually, TWO small mistakes. First, you thought Alan was disagreeing with you when he was actually supporting your position, and now you seem to think that it was Dan, not Alan, who wrote what you misunderstood.

DA Morgan answered:

Dawn countered:

Alan, agreeing with DA Morgan, wrote (to Dawn):
