I can't believe you made such a fuss about it. At least he didn't dispute
there was a problem with the bill. Granted, he could have had a better
attitude about it but after all, there were 12 of you and you probably ran
him ragged. I like you, Ranger, but this sounds like sort of a self
aggrandizing post whereby you knew "John" and want everyone to know it.
