It is a general statement, not an indictment of a specific person. 

The last time I looked, there WERE contributers to usenet discussions
other than yourself. 

I don't particularly care how YOU use the word, nor am I accusing YOU
specifically of mis-using it. It was, as I said, a comment on how I
percieve it to be commonly used in usenet discussion. 

I did not make any claim whether YOU think it's funny that the word is
mis-used. I stated that I did not use a smiley, which may indicate
sarcasm or irony as well as humor, because *I* don't think it's funny. 

Funny or not, it IS frequently (perhaps that's a better word than
commonly) used in the manner I stated.
