I've learned a fair bit arguing with Pundit. Like I say before, nothing I stuck up for in Calzaghe was worth arguing. On the other hand, I have picked up an appreciation for other fighters that I didn't know so much about (particularly Mundine).
Oh, don't take the only joy away from our boys. They've taken so much stick over the years and their feelings have been hurt so much that they are understandably overwhelmed by excitement to have found a mild inconsistency (or what they think is one) in one of my 6000 posts, written more than a year ago.
Actually, hold on to your chair -- I believe taki may have a decent chance to find
ANOTHER (!!) one after a few more nights of intensive search and detailed linguisitic analysis. If he forgoes all sleep, it may even happen while it's still 2006.

I think you should look up the definition of 'mild'.
