@Setanta,
I said “is” was correct - not more or less correct than “was.”
In fact there are many verb tenses that could be used in that adverbial phrase, depending on context and time- which the OP failed to give.
Gone are the days when one person’s answer is exclusively correct to an ambiguous question.
BTW, I think I have acknowledged when I was wrong made in any post. That’s not always been the case from others.
