If you truly believe being an a-hole on a message board means anything you may have an over inflated sense of your opinion.

Face it unless you are writing HUGE checks to the program your voice is just white noise in the background.

Apparently the big money decision makers saw the exact same thing that the pot bangers were discussing during the season. The pot bangers were correctly identifying the problems while being ridiculed by sunshine pumpers. That indicates to me that sunshine pumpers don't know what they are talking about and need to learn to keep their ignorant fingers away from their keyboards.

Thank you for all you do. Clearly we are in good hands.

Is that genuine or artificial sarcasm???

Shame sarcasm has to be one or another. I find the best sarcasm is best when served thinly veiled in mock temerity. Hope that doesn't clear anything up

It's a riff on an almost 40-year old story regarding a quip from a speaker at a programming language conference centered on an obscure language called Forth that focused on artificial intelligence in I think 1986 or 1987. The speaker noted in his language that the term "artificial intelligence" came across as "not-quite-genuine ignorance."

Sarcasm (I use the winky face more than any other icon) is only constructive in deconstructing the faux seriousness of conversations. So it largely doesn't matter whether it is genuine, artificial, intentional, authentic, serious, playful, or synthetic. It only matters if it annoys the snot out of someone else.

I live for interestingly random quips like this. Thanks for that (and to clarify there is no sarcasm there (of any flavor).
