No, you got that wrong. It was at your expense during your absence.

Do you think things through before you type a response on here?

I never claimed that the fun had was or was not at my expense during my absence. Even though the fun may have been had at my expense, fun was still had, which was all that I stated.

The existence of fun is prevalent regardless of the source of the fun, so I am indeed correct. Your logic is fallacious as these two variables are not correlated.

You have to give the boy credit....he knows how to use a dictionary.

That's the way it is with these cars. I think most of us do that. Funny how a Boxster makes what would otherwise be a five minute drive take 30 minutes.

Naw, he is a millennial. They don't know how to use a book, just online.
Yes, I know you can find a dictionary online.

He writes like he just got out of college, or am I giving him too much credit

College? I don't think so...given his age (21-26), I'm guessing that AE will just be finishing high school in June - finally.
