Thanks. Reads better.
However, that said, I think my original method is part of my style, and thereby probably acceptable. In fact, I might have left out the comma, as though I had said, "I had an argument with a fellow yesterday concerning...." "I had an argument with a fellow editor some years back concerning...." Would that clarify it?
This use (as I originally wrote it) might be important depending on what came just before, such as a discussion of arguments, resulting in my wanting to start my statement with a declaration of having had an argument, rather than setting the time period first.
I confess I tend to write sentences backward, on occasion. And with phrases in unexpected places I write them. [Now that's just wrong.] Seems to be my style.

You other guys: Okay already. It's Joss's. I were wrong.

What I hate, new topic, is the use of the exclamation point at the end of a long sentence!
