I think I have a pretty good sense of humor and can usually recognize
satire but your jest wasn't all that apparent.. Maybe because I print
big and was a contributor to this thread on how to print big maybe I
am overly-sensitive. Given the respect you enjoy on this list and your
past scolding of others that have strayed into dangerous territory -
well I could understand how people MIGHT JUST be inclined to take you
seriously.  After all, you are not the "Dark" King.  Perhaps your use
of the word "vomit" was intended to trigger a smile?
