Of course, I could reply in myriads of different ways. They say that in every explanation there is a hidden apology. Our back-and-forth drives this point home rather clearly, because I certainly still feel like my initial response was the most appropriate way to address the topic, and yet, here I am explaining myself. LOL.

In any case, you are correct about my irritation. Still, that was the whole point, I guess. After all, it was so effective that it compelled even you to reply to me, which in turn gave you a more in-depth insight into my previous interactions with Ben. It certainly would not happen, if I was all rational and followed the rules to a T :P
