You know, one of the problems I have with this mode of communicationis
that I'm not always certain if a person is actually pissed-off, being
sarcastic, going along with a joke or what.

Henry -- are you actually upset by the John Rigbey post or just kind of
playing along?  My initial reaction is that you're honestly upset, in
which case I'd have to say:

Ferchrissakes...it was a stinking drive-by in cyberspace!  How can you get
so upset by such a thing?

Granted, I was not included in the cabal which was lampooned, but I
laughed my ass off at it...I guess I'm guilty of "cabalism".
