::::::Very funny. (i.e. ha ha ha) 
 ::::::No, I don't have any vendettas going at the moment - I haven't had any going for years. 
 ::::::it's damned if I do, damned if I don't - a) No, it isn't.  b) Irrelevant. 
 ::::::Let's look at some facts: 
 ::::::* YOU made the stupid edits, not me, not anyone else. 
 ::::::* YOU put the stupid/false/misleading/whatever edit comments on the edits. 
 ::::::* YOU are refusing to explain your actions. 
 ::::::* If I comment on the Garrison-style postings I admit I'm a sock. - Errrr. No, it doesn't. I'M commenting on the postings. Your lack-of-logic therefore implies that I must be the sock. 
 ::::::* "being clever" is the LAST attribute I'd assign to the sock. 
 ::::::* No, it's not fair that the sock puppet is a royal pain in the posterior and seems to take great pleasure in wasting other people's time and indulging in irrelevant responses. 
 ::::::Y'know, the more you say, the more convinced I become that you and the sock puppet are one and the same person. Perhaps you should "quit while you're ahead"? Otherwise, I can see that "this will end in tears before bedtime".
