 I suppose I haven't changed as much as I thought I had from the old

 think that it was my DUTY and my CALLING to correct any little nit or error 
 that anybody made when they posted on this echo, and looking back on it, I 
 was rather tough and rough and rude and crude at times with those poor 
 little naifs.  I know I'm not quite as bad as I was, but I couldn't let 
 people go on thinking that "-ing" words were present tense, *always*, and 
 that they had to take out "she was running" *because* it was
"present 
 tense" (!) and change it to past tense.

Well, I, for one, didn't know it could be past progressive, so I printed that 
email so I would know.  I had no problem with it.
