This never happened. Ever. This is classic Fiannan.

I'd be interested in discussing this further with you.
Good luck.

Fiannan won't be able to discuss it because, again, it never happened. Do me a favor, and keep asking him for a reference.

Case and point. You asked for a reference and he gave you what is essentially a non-reference, and in doing so, expects you to find the "reference" for yourself. Classic Fiannan.

For those on this thread so enamored of Fiannan, don't be quite so gullible. Ask him to prove what he says, and don't accept vague references.

Personally, I would not believe a word he said if his tongue came notarized.
