It was most probably me.
And here you are 10 years later not able to let it go. What is this innate need
to prove others wrong, Dave? To hold onto a conversation that is 10 years old
and have to act like a child saying "I told you so"? (Sometimes to the point of
digging up old conversations and tearing them apart word-for-word).
Frankly I'm tired of the self-righteous indignation.
Vernon out.
