(Pardon my writing style, I was young and stupid)

I haven't seen this since its original broadcast (the week of the 25th anniv. special) and would love to see it again (hint, hint)

I haven't seen this since its original rerun broadcast (the week of before the 25th anniv. special)
Fixed that.

(I'm sorry, but that kind of thing bugs me.)

I am kind of curious which show this was, but I doubt I could ID it without at least a partial list of games.

(I'm sorry, but that kind of thing bugs me.) I am snarky and I feel it's my place to correct other people.

Fixed that.

Only one I'm sure of was Ten Chances, which of course was the game Joseph bobbled on.  

P.S. no offense taken re: rerun vs. original broadcast.  All I know is it was seen on the date mentioned.

Y'know, if the guy I was actually replying to isn't bothered, I don't think I'm gonna worry.

(And yes, I know this had the potential to come off as snarky...but I'm also pretty sure everyone knows by now that I'm a complete dork about TPIR dates.  I really have no idea which contestant James is talking about, but I'm still curious which show it was, just because I'm generally curious about that kind of thing.)

It's all in the delivery. Instead of acting like a fifth grade teacher using your red pen when you could have easily just said "Actually, I think the airing you're referring to was the episode's rerun that occurred the week before the 25th Anniversary Special."

Regardless of self-proclaimed dorkiness about airdates, you'd likely never correct someone asking for your help in a manner like that when speaking face-to-face...why does it need to happen here?

Y'know, if the guy I was actually replying to isn't bothered, I don't think I'm gonna worry.
...which means the behavior will likely continue when interacting with others.

Since my mouth doesn't have a strikethrough tag, I'd have to agree.

(Truthfully, yes, I could have been more tactful...but at the same time, that is sort of a silly thing to say, Jake.)
