    I wanted to remark about the "do as I say, not as I do" posture of someone
    who is a fairly new poster, who writes a bunch of (typically, regarding
    this topic; not singling you out here as anything special) passionate
    (inflammatory? *shrug*) stuff, and then caps it off with "now play nice". I
    did so.

    There's enough sarcasm on this list to sink any reasonable discussion, as
    we see.

    I don't see you raising the bar. Perhaps I should use a microscope.

    Thus my attempt at a tiny bit of what the Commonwealth types sometimes call
    "taking the piss".

    Nothing more, and nothing particularly uplifting; I herewith retire,
    leaving you in posession of the field.
