re: I'd call that a missed opportunity.
Cowing doesn't care who's time he wastes with BS about missed nonexistent points.
I shot down his feeble attempt at a point so he pretends he had some deeper point we fail to get. But, of coarse he won't tell us that point!
He never grew up and shows it everywhere he posts.
Cowing better not try emailing me again as I've told him to cease and desist.
Washington State has laws against unsolicited emailing which have been enforced against other pests!
