I didn't mean to make it appear that your offers to Yuri weren't sincere. I'm
sure that they were. That's the whole problem. Since your offers were sincere,
why was Yuri so rude as to not even reply to either of you. A simple, "Thanks,
but I can't go at this time" or 'medical problems prevent' or 'no gelt, no go',
would have been enough on his part. A silence like that reflects his own lack
of sincerity. He apparently prefers his armchair to getting his hands dirty (or
wet in this case) on the real thing. Either that or he's afraid of revealing his
actual lack of knowledge. I apologize if I sound nasty, but people like Yuri
make me see red.
