My apologies. Possibly I should have allowed for the drier form of wit
that flourishes in the UK; I know that I was out of sorts because some
of the contributions to the thread *have* been dismally unimaginative.
I am sorry to say that I *did* take you comment as a kind of adolescent
attitudinizing that shows up rather a lot on the net.
I guess that if I am being humourless myself (as I unfortunately was
in this instance) I should also restrain my too-Germanic and heavy
sarcasm. Thanks for the calm tone of your protest!
