I mean, I make the point that one particular firm had good customer service back in the day - and you accuse me of suffering rose tinted specs and thinking that all was wonderful in those days? What kind of failure of intellect did you suffer to enable you to make that cognitive error, if indeed you did not mean to insult me?

You are insulting me dishonestly by implying that I'm crowing about my cleverness, which I'm not - as you well know. I was the prize thicky in my class; I'd've been /really/ embarrassed if I'd not got an A.

I'd say that the real problem is that it wasn't an insulting post at all. -- Peter

I don't think that looking back fondly on a past that never really existed is a bad thing. > What kind of failure of intellect did you suffer to enable you to make > that cognitive error, if indeed you did not mean to insult me?
