Me, I thought all this erupted over Barry Manilow.

Put me down as having missed the point as well.

For fk's sake - of course there was no brilliant point for you to get. 
It's not like I thought I was quoting Frege here, it was just a throwaway 
piece of humour that no one but you takes exception to, so plaese, get 
over 
yourself. There are no nits let to pick out of this one.

It's like watching Comic Book Guy come alive to audition for a Beckett 
monologue.
