If this WAS a joke, then I apologize for all the trouble I caused.  (if any)
Also, hiding and disguising the :-) in the subject line is not the best way
to inform people that the article is a joke.  

I have seen enough articles like the first one which are serious, so don't
talk to me about sarcastic tone.  

The only thing I shouldn't have done is comment on control-X to rotate jokes.
This was due to my ignorance of 'rn' which we don't have.
