Alas, they both got there! - Your point was still a good one.

HOTD: What do you mean by "Alas"? ;^)

LC: Yes, I should have mentioned that your points were good ones as well. I don't want to come across as a part of the Grammar Police. ;^)

What does anyone mean when they say "Alas!" I have never tried to define it! I guess it means "at any rate", or "nevertheless", or "I guess the point is"!
