This rude one-upsmanship is uncalled for. The gentleman attempted to offer you a solution you did not appear to be aware of. If, in fact, one of you misunderstood the other, or he offered you a solution you can't use, no harm has been done--thank him for his offer and move on. Or, if you can't be kind, let it be unanswered.
