That was my point.  I was being sarcastic again but I didn't put a warning 
anymore.  As I'm doing now, still posting at the bottom of a long posting.

I'm not sure whether you were attacking me too (am I the "little mind"?) or 
supporting me, Fuzzy.  Anyway, I think that Mike Meyer was more annoyed by 
my jab at US politics than by my top posting.  But it was safer for him to 
pick on the latter.
