OK, I'm just messin' with you, but, you want to re-think the way you phrased that?

As much as I hate to defend PWL at all, I think the lack of punctuation threw you here.

I'm sure you read this as "Mistakes made often ... make a better umpire", when he meant it as "Mistakes made ... often make a better umpire." A sentiment I reluctantly agree with.
