    They were pessimistic. They were also incorrect.
    About the outcome, and more crucially, about the timing.

    See, apparently there’s a group of posters who have come to find “timing” to be the singular most important aspect of all since the crash they failed to see coming occurred. No idea why though.

    Which is just a weazley way of saying they were wrong.

    Well Pimperni1, the statement "rob was correct" would suggest that I was commenting on something rob typed.
    And golly gosh if we look back a whole couple of posts, doesn't that just seem to be the case.
