No, it wasn't.

Christophe> And I agree with Mark and disagree with you here.
You're agreeing with someone else. :)
Although I do happen to agree with whoever it was you're mistaking me for.
Idioms are, well, idiomatic. And ubiquitous; there are many, many, many
idioms we use every day without even thinking of them as such. You have
to be very careful when translating out of your native language.
