"Nice Pick" is generally construed as sarcasm. Unfortunately sarcasm is lost in text form. 
Forgive me for being so bold but I think remember the instance your're talking about and, as memory serves, what happened wasn't exactly what I would consider a pick. From my point of view, I caught you on the top of a zoom with a furball well below you. . . .
 
You might well be right.  I had just picked a red off a green and I do think it would have been at the top of a zoom after shooting down the red.  You were perfectly right in taking that shot.   
The 47 is a super plane and you are its master.  Not many people can say that.
