I think Lou Ann is giving a compliment (or 'kudos') in a somewhat informal way to the 'supreme editor at large' (who I assume to be Rusty in this case ).

I.e. : well done to Rusty for having changed what the bot originally stated falsely (depending on perspective, alledgedly).

It wasn't me.

Yup - thanks, Laura, for beating me to the explanation. By the way, I figured it was David ....... Interesting how anonymous some things are.....

Right.. (I somehow tend to never believe people who say that. )

Ok the other supreme editor at large then...

@ ¡Lou Ann: no hay de qué!

[irmamar]

You can say both "había" and "habían". There's not anything wrong

The runners reached the goal in their competence.

The Spanish word competencia translates to two different words in English: competition and competence
The two English words mean very different things. The first one is what you meant to use (it comes from the verb compete (competir)). The second one has to do with capacidad.

Oh.

I see the difference, really I didn't know it, thank you very much for the great support.

I will write another example.

The runners will reach the great Chine wall in the wonderful competition of the 2010 year.
