He did?

You're not thinking of my coment on having been labeled "ultra-liberal"? If
so, that was on a unrelated forum.

I _really_ do need be able to add body language and tone to my emails.

I was, for the record, not insulted by it. Perplexed and slightly amused,
but not insulted.

As I've already said, I'll actually miss the guy. While I think he is a bit
odd and egocentric, I do not carry any grudge against him.
