It seems that there are, unfortunately, a fairly large number of people
on the network that can't seem to understand humor unless they are hit
over the head with a 2x4.

That's why the ":-)" was invented - to indicate to such people that
the posting is a joke, and consequently is something they can't
understand, so that they don't clutter things up with flamage about
how stupid the original article was.  I've been burned too by their
ranting when I didn't add the requisite 2x4's to the article.

Non illegitimi carborendum (or however the Italians spell it).

:-) :-) :-)      <-- appropriate 2x4's for the dimwitted.
