I don't recall ever having any such exchange with Mr. Parr, either
publicly or privately. Would you, or Mr. Parr for that matter, care to
repost or provide a link to the exchange in question?

Neil, the "NB" in this case is Nick Bourbaki.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Obviously I missed those posts. And
I probably didn't miss much.
