My records show Tenzing first contacted me on 5/28/2003. I replied him on 7/11/2003. Not fast, but not 2 years either. I was on vacation part of the time in between. But maybe you are right: IIRC somebody tried to contact me before that, but did not answer to my request for additional information. I don't remember details, and it looks that I deleted the mail when cleaned the archive years ago.
