Nothing will dissuade fools; certainly not sarcasm. But for the non-fools 
who inadvertently do foolish things, a sharp prick, metaphorically 
speaking, will train them to ponder more carefully any future ideas before 
presenting them publicly and wasting people's time. (I'd change my nom de 
guerre to Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, but I don't recall him being portrayed in 
any Monty Python skit.)

Besides, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay.
