Anders Eklöf:
That woud be closer to mag. -9 than mag. 9


palsing:
No, definitely not mag -9, read this...


Mr. Eklöf didn't say -9 he said closer to -9. But it wouldn't matter if
he had said -300 because he was writing hyperbolically, not literally.

You're not one of those people who, if someone says "It's raining cats
and dogs," looks out the window and says "No it's not! That's just
ordinary water," are you?

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.
