I didn't remember it at all. I had to google for my name and his. I
*moved on*. I had to re-read the entire thread for context to respond
(burning about 20 minutes of what would have been otherwise productive
time) just to have a response to his allegation. And in the light of
having reviewed the thread, the key element (that his solution actually
*was* proper) came to me, even though it didn't at that point.
But it's why I wrote the response as I did. I said "here are the
preconditions, and if this is all true, then you are lying". What he
fails to understand (and I wish he would) is that the preconditions
didn't apply, and therefore "you are lying" doesn't apply to him. He
failed to read the whole letter. He failed to understand that the last
few paragraphs clearly didn't apply to him.
I wished I had had time to read the whole thread the first time. But I
don't have time for that anymore here. I only have a few moments from
time to time to check the answers, not the questions.
And now I've burned another hour on this issue, when I could have been
productively helping other people. {sigh} That's the *real* cost of
this.
