Trasgo I wasn't talking about you knucklehead. I was referring to the people who were describing aid climbing ratings as if they knew what they were talking about, and then posted a day or two later and said they had never aid climbed before.

Would be, or is, incorrect?

The subjunctive can be used to demonstrate conditional propositions as well as be used as a mark of politeness.
"I would like the soup of the day" isn't actually conditioned on anything.

I think it was used rather snidely above. Logically, unless I'm wrong, that leaves conditionally.

Seriously I have, but then it's not really polite, is it?
So, I was being a bit snide myself and pointing out that if it's wrong, he should just say so instead of being a pretentious jack-ass.
That, my not really friend, is hypocrisy.
