When I made that comment, I figured that the sheer absurdity of the 
statement (much akin to the idea of an Egypytian in Paris telling a 
person of French descent to go "back where he came from" for not 
learning Arabic) would be so obvious that no one would mistake it for a 
serious comment.

I obviously forgot where I was.  Here on Usenet, there is no statement 
so absurd that nobody will utter it in seriousness, nor any dearth of 
people incapable of catching even the most obvious joke.

Since either of these two things could be the source of your thinking I 
was serious, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.  But for the 
record: it was a joke.


And on a side note: Your accusation of what my ancestors did makes it 
painfully obvious that you have little to no idea who my ancestors are, 
nor when they arrived where.
