I'm not sure who (if anyone) these comments are directed to, but since my
name is in the title, I'd like to say, for the record, that I used neither
of these words.  Rafael reinterpreted my words to include morose, and as
near as I can tell, no one used humorless, certainly I didn't.  My
comments were aimed at one rather cranky poster, and were intended
playfully.
