Am I the only one who didn’t find it particularly subtle?

Sorry. “Mocking” is five fora down. This forum is for rational discussions and cat fights.

Even with your “point” explained, I do not see an actual debate, here. If you think of a point to debate, feel free to open it in a new thread.

(If you actually had intended to post this in the **BBQ Pit** , either open a new thread there or let me know and I’ll move this thread there.)
