Sarathy did not insist.  He just said that he does not
remember that you were working there, but said that
you were offsite so he just might not remember you.

Sarathy sent me an email, pointed out the factual
error, and said he would appreciate a public apology
for the mistake.  Which I did.  I hate getting my
facts scrambled.  And which I would do for anyone
who pointed out a mistake of mine.

And to explain why this forum, this is where I made
the mistake.  How better to make sure that the
people who saw the original were aware that I had
got my facts scrambled?
