Cathy: I absolutely did say something at the time! I commented that it was rude to criticize the code of someone who was helpful enough to present a working example. Perhaps you missed that one!

This tells me we tolerate blatant rudeness, but not humor interjected to defuse tension caused by the rudeness. Guess it's all a matter of what our values are. The humor did get a bit over the top. But not nearly to the degree that good manners were disregarded.

I'm pretty sure that piercings and belly-button lint aren't terribly relevant to the stated topic of the list. It's all about the signal-to-noise ratio, kids.
