That's correct.  It's just an article.  I thought you might be building up to making a point.

Looks like I was wrong about that.

I thought it was amusing. I wasn't searching for a deeper cultural meaning.

It was a tad amusing.  Typically when most folks here post an article they will also post a line or two about it.

No harm done.

I've learned that hard way that they are sometimes well worth using.

I've had posts misunderstood when I forget to use them on occassion.
