    12 times...that's a more "stable" number ;)...

    That's pragmatics...it's a rather large group with hundreds of
    posts...sometimes, I don't see a post for a week...

    But the point was not the "lateness" of the response but that it was only
    saying what had already been said...he can reply whenever he likes - I'm
    not going anywhere at the moment - but it was the "correction" of things
    already corrected - going over old ground - not the lateness (the
    "lateness" only comes into it from the perspective of: "Why didn't you read
    C's reply where he covered this already?"...because if it had been at the
    same rough time then, okay, posts duplicate points because one poster has
    not seen what the other said yet...but it shouldn't apply here because it
    was posted a few days later and C's post must surely have propogated to
    everyone's news server by that time)...

    Indeed, the objection was in pulling up my mistake several days later,
    misrepresenting things...that this had been corrected and I'd taken another
    guess and got it correct second time round...but by pulling out the mistake
    once more, it's "as if" someone who always tries to poke holes in what I
    say was, ooh, doing it delibrately to try to "rub in" my mistake and "sneak
    in" a misrepresentation by repeating a quotation of the mistake to try to
    wipe out the correction later on, that I wouldn't see it and the mistake,
    not the correction would end up as the "last word"...as I say, "as if"
    someone was doing this...not an actual accusation...this would be impolite
    "netiquette" to do such a thing, if it was being done...either accidentally
    or maliciously...if replying late, then one should make sure not to
    accidentally do such thing, as it would be "underhand" and a bit "rude", so
    to speak)...
