No, and you cannot show I claimed "22". either. The challenge was to his
loony statement - "I doubt you have ever been to a PGA tour event". He
has added all the other fluff to try to wriggle off the hook - yet again.

However, the point is moot, since it is more than 22, so now the
exercise shifts to you all defining the burden of proof so high that you
and he can weasel out of it.

Surprise, surprise.
