No, Tom, I absolutely NEVER said anything like that! I have bike parts 
stored away that are decades old, and some "extra" stuff that I bought 
new but have not yet used.

Heck, I'm pretty sure I still have the Huret Svelto derailleur that was 
original equipment on my first ever ten speed - back when "ten speed" 
meant 5x2.

You need to stop trusting your memory, or your imagination, or whatever. 
Stop disputing what you pretend I said. Deal with what I've actually said.
