Rob apparently did, since he said he took the Montalban impersonation to be the "gist of the characterization." I suggested that Montalban was something Hector did occasionally, but that the everyday Hector--on the evidence of the dialogue--had more of a street edge to him, more like Cheech than Montalban. You apparently took exception to that, but since your post contained more hostility than substance I really don't know what you meant.
