Why do you think the timestamp on a message determines whether or not
someone has received it? This is the internet. And even if he has received
it, why do you assume that he has read it? I very often answer a question
without reading the other replies.

Me? No, I have a cable modem. I can't speak for Aaron. Even if he did have a
56kps modem, why do you think that would have anything to do with whether or
not his ISP's news server has received your post, given the well-known
vagaries of the internet? And even if he had downloaded it, why do you think
your answer was definitive enough to not need some
reinforcement/clarification?

Don't be silly. Read it again. His post gave some details about relational
database theory that yours only hinted at. If I was the OP, I would be
grateful to receive both replies. This is not a show-up-the-other-repliers
contest. Just because he replied does not mean he thought your reply was
deficient. Relax. We're friends here.

No. I submit that you should go to the MVP website and see the list of
hundreds of non-English speakers in those ranks. You should drop this now.
