How did I handle this?

You would be correct.

I find it interesting that people want to hide the fact that they are recording conversations. I'm not a fan of "gottch ya" stuff because it just caused more irritation and animosity between the two parties.

I've found being open about it forces both parties to behave and when that happens conversations are more civil and things can be worked out quicker. I carry a voice recorder with me all the time, and my ex is aware that I do which makes conversations breif and polite.

Two important things to remember about recording: if the other person asks if you are recording you must admit it and prior to any court hearings you technically need to share the recording.
