Exactly, you accused him of causing the conflict by padding his
recording. He did not cause the conflict, nor pad his recording, it was
caused by exactly what he claimed caused it, a 1 minute overlap caused
by intentional scheduling by the network. 'Fess, up, you were wrong to
accuse him of causing it.

I'm not saying that it isn't a good idea to check the To-do list, but
scheduling conflicts like this cannot be solved by that and your
suggestion solves nothing, it only allows you to be prepared for it, and
make the decision as to which show to record (or go through some
needlessly complex manual recording setup that you shouldn't have to do
with a Tivo). Without the stupid 1 minute overlap there'd be no
problem, and what exactly does that extra minute gain anybody but a
headache?
Here's a question back at ya, what exactly does checking the to-do list
have to do with his complaint? Does it make it any less valid? Does it
solve the problem? How about asking Jason, does checking the to-do list
make him happy and solve the conflict problem? I bet we both know what
the answer is.

I was making a parallel, it's fairly obvious. GW's only stated
intention for starting the Iraq war was the existence of WMD's. Later
on, when that was shown to be false, he insisted that the *real* reason
for the invasion was to stop human rights abuses, never mind what he
said before. Can you see the similarities? Originally you said that
the conflict was Jason's fault for padding it. Now that you're
demonstratably wrong, you insist that you were *really* "suggesting"
that he check his "to-do" list and that therefore it was still his own
fault.

No, actually you insisted it wasn't caused by that at all, but by
Jason's own actions. You didn't give Jason the respect that he was due,
nothing he said was incorrect, except maybe that he thought that the
guide was mistaken, and not scheduled that way on purpose.

I never said you disagreed with it, but you certainly denied it even
existed, at least with regards to this show. Only after I posted the
actual times and durations of the shows did you admit that Jason's
observations were correct.
You should learn to give people the benefit of the doubt when they're
being reasonable, you jumped the gun at accusing Jason of being wrong
about the scheduling of the show.
