Good Lord, that was months ago, wasn't it? Well, days ago, anyway. Is he 
the tardy one, or are you? :-)

<shrug> You expected something different? Remember that the above idiocy 
hails from the same stable that can't distinguish between "I rarely do 
such-and-such" and "I never do such-and-such", or between "I have on a few

rare occasions been able to do so-and-so" and "I can always do so-and-so".

Time spent arguing with such people is generally time wasted (which 
doesn't necessarily mean it can't be fun).
