So I did. Oh well. Thanks for letting me know.

Edit: I still think some of it is relevant discussion and I'm okay with leaving my flaws out there so I'm not going to delete it. But I sincerely do appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I don't know why I assumed this post was the other way around. I think I read a comment that switched the logic in my head for some reason. I dunno.
