I don't normally fall into the trap of replying to trolls, but this just pisses me off beyond words.
My intention was not to anger anyone, but sometimes it seems inevitable on the internet. Call me a troll if you want, but I think you're taking something a wee bit too personally. In fact, you are behaving more like a troll than I am.
And it IS called the "10th ProgPower" ... ProgPowerUSA X.
Yes, but there are a number of references to the 10th anniversary on the main PPUSA site.
Do you think the promoter is stupid? Well, of course you don't. That would be so ridiculous.
Correct. I have no reason to believe the promoter is stupid, but since I've never met him I can only judge him by the quality of his festivals, which is quite high.
The anniversary celebration is completely legitimate because it honors the 10th festival in a row. It doesn't how many years have gone by in between.
Definition of anniversary from Merriam-Webster:
"1: the annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event ; broadly : a date that follows such an event by a specified period of time measured in units other than years <the 6-month anniversary of the accident>"
It specifies a period of time, not a number of events. The first anniversary of a wedding happens one year after the wedding. The logic being applied here is that the second anniversary happens at the one-year mark.
Oh, but way to validate it by adding a quaint little compliment at the end.
I don't need your validation. I was trying to show that I appreciate the festival, because I figured someone (ahem) might take offense to my post otherwise. Oh well, I tried.
Go insult someone else's hard work, plz. kthnxbai.
What hard work? Are you referring to the arithmetic exercise we are discussing, or are other issues creeping into your reasoning?
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I'll get back into lurk-mode soon enough, and then you won't have to overreact to my posts.
Have yerself a good night.
If I lived closer I'd try to attend more often.
