Yuck, I have no desire to be 'redeemed' because I disagreed with someone you dislike. I nominate Kishkumen for being an unthinking lackey of Scratch.
(Hopefully this will undo this redemption thing)

He is the jerk of all jerks. The King of Jerks. The longest running Jerk on MDB. The Jerk whom Jerkwannabe's only wish they could emulate.
Ain't happening, folks. When it comes to Jerkhood, Schmo is the "go to guy".
I must be a jerkwannabe, because I would like to be able to emulate Schmo. No one can smack you up-side the head with reality like Schmo can. I love it.

Gee...thanks...'professor'.
"Although some usage guides insist that only farther should be used for physical distance ( We walked farther than we planned ), farther and further have been used interchangeably throughout much of their histories."
"There is no historical basis for the notion that farther is of physical distance and further of degree or quality."
"If we speak of a statement that is far from the truth, for example, we should also allow the use of farther in a sentence such as Nothing could be farther from the truth."
