You guys need to stop that. The first comment sounded slightly
sarcastic, so that was OK. "One of the best things on Usenet" is
kind of over the top, so I didn't really take that seriously.
But when you juxtapose those with something that sounds honest
and even has a smiley next to it, that's enough to make a person
believe in Christmas!

Bah, humbug! :)

Because I don't pad out my writing with exclamation marks and
smiley faces I'm accused of being sarcastic?

I really did mean it sincerely.  I truly look forward to reading Nerd
Boy...I used to look forward to reading Art Fart too...I guess I may
not be the best judge of these sort of things... ;-)

>Bah, humbug! :)

Gotta go with you on that one!

It wasn't an accusation, it was an extenuating circumstance. I
can accept praise as long as it's rather ambivalent. If it's
too high praise, it just gets embarrassing.

For example, I'm much more inclined to believe someone enjoyed
themselves if they say "Hey man, your singing sucks! ;)" rather
than "I really thought for a minute that I was hearing the original
cast from Chess!" (real example by the way; I was singing Anthem)
Sarcasm just feels more genuine to me than smarmy stock phrases.

    No ma-a-a-an, no maadness, though their sad power may prevail,
    can possess, conquer my country's heart! They rise to fail!
