Methinks the lady doth protesteth too much.

My reaction was not a complaint, my good man, nor any other form of 
judgement, but a slapstick response to Mark's tongue-in-cheek query as to 
how IBM came up with the sweeping generalization that "most shops run with 
a value of 50,000" and his mock offense that IBM obviously slighted his 
installation from inclusion in that group.

But then, that's what happens when you take a sound byte out of context, 
instead the whole passage, including Mark's post and my parting comment:

"Thanks for the laugh.  Excuse me while I acquire some napkins to dry my 
monitor..."

To wit, I say, "Slow down and buy some gas!"
