Look, guys, as stated in the op, and my second post, this was intended only as a dig at Trumpsters. It was not meant to have any profundity, not meant to be studied, discussed, dissected. It was pure nonsense. Ones first clue as to that would be the- "All Trumpsters are idiots" line. As said before, sorry for not including a 'Poe's law' disclaimer.
Also, guys, I believe it is well known here that Dr. Shades often offers free advice as to proper grammer, punctuation, and sentence structure. So I asked for proofing. WTF!
Will you guys please lay off now with the talking over me in my own thread, clique-ery, condescension and bullying. For these infractions, whether you care or not, I'm assessing you both with a 15 yd. Piss-off.

Wow. So did you ask for proofing? Or did you post pure nonsense? There was no intent to talk over you, or to be clique-ish, condescending, or bullying. Uses of probability in language is something I find interesting. 15 yards?
That's what I get for waiving my usual consulting fee. The piss-off will cost you though. Poe's law warning.-

I was seeking a proofing of structure, format, presentation of the 'nonsense'. As you can see, I am still struggling with the proper terminalogy in describing the request. So, when you posted this -
Lemmie wrote::lol: Agreed. But he did ask for help with structure and, um..."punctuation."
The, "um..."punctuation", came across to me as mocking. If I am mistaken I sincerely apologize.

People often ask me for help in how to put probabilistic statements into written form. They may refer to that as fixing the notation, or the form, or something like that, which is what I thought (obviously incorrectly) you were doing with the term "punctuation." I put it in quotes to poke fun at myself, in case I was finding a probability question where none was intended. Which is clearly what happened. I thought I indicated that in my original post, but appatently it didn't come through that way:

It was not meant to mock you.Your incredible overreaction, calling us condescending, bullying, clique-sh, saying WTF, piss-off, and several other things tells me there must be something else going on. Whatever. In any case, my apologies.
