Of course I am, I do, etc... that was the point of the joke.
But, Why not:
 	
	1. Post only the part I included, not the original
	   which you have so generously attributed to me.

	2. Post my entire followup, including toungue-in-cheek
	   disclaimer.

	3. DON'T POST THIS STUFF UNENCRYPTED. I didn't.
	   Encrypting jokes and warnings about offensive
	   messages are important tools in net.jokes.

	4. DON'T POST OUT OF NET.JOKES. I didn't ('til now).

I think you have quite a job ahead of you if you get incensed
by encrypted, derogatory humor in net.jokes. Of course it was
a stupidass joke. Who cares?

I think you had reason to flame me, but you exercised it so
poorly I can't take you remotely seriously, and anyone privy
to the circumstances won't either.

Love,

toddie

P.S. A gay friend of mine told me this one. Aren't I enlightened?
