Just to be clear, I didn't distribute the janky copy of jQuery to anyone myself. I test my samples pretty thoroughly before publishing, and definitely would have caught something like this.

The situation here was that someone was using one of my samples from the jQuery 1.2 era and wanted to see if it would work with 1.6.2. He downloaded the ".it" copy of jQuery to test it with, got the syntax error when he used it in my sample, thought it was because my code didn't work right with 1.6.2, and got in touch with me about it. That's about where the post picks up at, when I rushed to grab a copy of 1.6.2 via Google and made the mistake of downloading the ".it" copy without noticing.

Sorry, I didnt meant to suggest that actually happened in the last paragraph but it does read that way on review. My apologies.
No worries. I just wanted to make sure you (or others) didn't think I was that careless.
