No, he spoke with Anna--during his previous visit, a few nights before that Friday, the very visit you somehow believe I failed to consider. Please go back and read my reply. I specifically mentioned the paragraphs before the one that Roger quoted, and those paragraph discuss that visit.

Humm, well, let's just say that you and I have different ideas about what constitutes a "good question." By the way, I've posed a whole bunch of questions that have gone unanswered. So welcome to the club.
