I can live with it. Least said, soonest mended.

(I myself reserve the right to continue being crotchety in my quest for 'curmudgeon' status, as befits my advancing years.)
Don't be confused. His/her teacher is not on the forum. (At least, I don't think so.)

Please don't be disappointed in me. (Keeps this post on topic. )

Disappointed? I look forward to any future vitriol, as a beacon to me along my way.

Something disappointing may leave you disappointed (disappoint you).
