Just curious - how are you translating "It's been a long time since
I retired" to "I'm a formally-diagnosed head-case who is totally
reliant on long-term disability payments"? Seems like quite a leap
to me.

Note that I never said "It's been a long time since I retired."
Thus, this whole business is a figment of the Middius imagination.

For the record, I'm neither retired nor living on a disability.


The statement "It's been a long time since I retired." was my
paraphrase of your post:

... until his retirement.

Been there, done that too.

That never happened in a post I wrote. If you go back and look at the
thread, its a result of Middius' creative editing.

There was a ton of text after the phrase "...until his retirement." What did
happen is the following.

Art wrote

" at $77,600 per year!"

Middius deceptively deleted a lot of relevant text to arrive at the results
he posted, which is one of those things that he does quite frequently.

If I told you how many years ago, you'd REALLY think I was
bragging.

If I misunderstood your post, that's my mistake.

No problem.
