I’ll say one other thing, too ... when I replied to you today (the first comment I made from overnight) ... I had seen your citation and I wanted to then go to Wikipedia to get it corrected. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that someone had already corrected it.
Now, what that means to me, is that someone who had been following this conversation was already signed up for editing on Wikipedia and they made the change already. That was really quick, I think.
I don’t see anything nutty about what I was saying about Jim Robinson and how he voted and wanting to get the citation for it - that he did not vote for Romney, which is what I was told initially.
As I see it, this conversation resulted in the proof that Jim Robinson, indeed, did change his mind and that the accompanying suiff that Wikipedia had about it was correct after all.
I call that a good result and resolution.
Here's the link for you:

As I posted previously WikiP.D.A. notes the following: "This page was last modified on 26 December 2013 at 11:01."
I hope you have people who take care of you, your mind is muddy.
Actually, I’m a caretaker for several other people - handling incomes and allocating it for bills ... and have done so in the past for a parent, too.
So ... you don’t have to be concerned about the muddy part ... :-) ...
I can see you shuffling through that lifestyle, you sure played obtuse troll on this thread.
The link that is on Wikipedia right now was posted on Free Republic today at 6:37 EST. I read the post at about 10:35 EST and made my post on this thread right afterwards, at 10:40 EST.
I have no idea when that change in the reference on the Wikipedia was made, but it would have to be after 6:37 EST and before 10:35 EST.
Well ... of course, that’s your opinion, but it’s not mine ... :-) ...
Looking at this a little further, it appears that Wikipedia is operating on UTC-time. If this is the case, then 11:01 UTC is 6:01 EST. It is odd that the change was made on Wikipedia at 6:01 EST, while the post to Free Republic, with the new link, was made later at 6:37 EST.
Furthermore, the change was made by someone who has AT&T as their ISP and that IP number is in Burbank, California.
I don’t know what to make of that.
I just realized that I have a role in that post.
My post was made from my own finding of the FR thread that I posted to, I had no idea that Wiki had changed, so some freeper changed Wiki on their own and the time of our actions, was merely coincidence.
