There is nothing funny about some idiot like you baiting me. What makes you think
*I* wasn't kidding? Have you had *your* humour aligned recently?

It was never my intention to embarrass him. He did that all by himself.

Look, I did not really care that he posted in the wrong group. Happens all the
time. I just didn't like the way he blatantly ignored the rules he *knew* were in
place. It was a sort of "above the law" attitude IMO. And if he meant it as a
joke, it wasn't funny. I am not normally a stick in the mud; I just found his
post very uncivil for some reason. It's probably why my response seemed so
"forcably removed of humor" to you.

Tells me that I have been out of town the last few days and haven't read this
thread until now. What does it tell you? On second thought, nevermind. This
discussion was pointless from the start.
