[quote ka jowct]Elmo's no angel or anything, but he's not totally wrong.
It's his tone that offends people. He harps on other people's failings (as he sees them). Pointing out the faults of others seems to be his only reason for hanging out here.
I don't HAVE to point out the faults of anyone here.
"I threw stuff out. It all had Apple logos on it. Apple should replace it for me!"
That seems to be a theme around here. I'm not sure if that's just because it's Apple, or if it's generally that no one wants to take responsibility for his own actions.
It's not at ALL hard to believe that something got misplaced in a major move.
But "oh, dear me, what'll I DO? I don't want to have to pay for another copy..." is just over the line into sheer inanity.
Jerry doesn't want to pay for his mistake of misplacing something during a move. Frankly, when one moves, one budgets for such things. If you're that close to the edge financially that you can't allow for such things happening...

Really, is it so hard to believe that something got misplaced in a major move? Does that make Jerry an idiot?
