Of course. As a human and unpaid volunteer you are entitled to a fair share of
errors. And yes, shit happens. And indeed, two miscoded apostrophes are no big
deal.

What rushed against my feathers is that your Pavlov reflex was to go in denial
mode and start shooting at the messenger by declaring my technical analysis as
"totally wrong", where in fact is was 95% spot on.

Cheers, Michiel
