Meh sometime away from CW will be really good for you.

I mean how else can one even think about 'Richard' of Dickinson vaiety when the title is about Richards by the Khan of Imran Variety.
The point is that the first words can be seen while the ones further to the right cannot yet. If you glanced at the words on the right first, you'd obviously not be likely to be misled.

And for once I do agree with you that you are the most self centered person in the history. SS isn't even close, no one is.
You don't, actually, because surprise surprise you've (deliberately, in all likelihood) missed the sarcasm.

'Richards' was the first word and to your huge dissappointment, 'Richard' of Dickinson variety dont come to mind. If it does, then the person needs a break from CW.

As said, though, missing apostrophes are perfectly common. Usually, too, when people say "Richard" without a specified surname on CW, they're referring to the Dickinson variety.

These two facts combined make it very possible that a thread saying "Richards ..." could be thought upon instant reflection to be about myself.

No it wont, even more so if it is followed by words like 'Genius', 'Perfectionist' etc. If you still have doubts, Once and for all this thread was about RICHARDS of Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Variety and not about richard of some dickinson variety.

So please stop attention hogging like you do in every thread you participate in and dont ruin this thread like you do to every other thread.

For your benefit I will repeat it 3 times, so that you can remember it.

This thread is about Sir IVA Richards.

I don't have any doubts, I never did and you're simply (very probably deliberately) completely misunderstanding what everyone's saying. No-one, upon any inspection of more than about a second or so, thinks this thread is about me. It's just a split-second reaction upon reading the first word of the title, soon dispelled upon full inspection.

This is before any of the rest of the title, never mind the content, is read. Reply to what people have said rather than what you'd like them to have said.
