Give up this Good Soldier Schweik act, will you?
It is tedious and not amusing. It is something that is done to an
enemy. When done to friends, it will make them enemies.
For those not familiar with Czech literature (most of North America):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweik
'Svejk is so enthusiastic about faithfully serving his country that
no one can decide whether he is merely an imbecile or is craftily
undermining the Austro-Hungarian Army's war effort. This idiocy/subversion
has come to be known as "svejking".'
One important form of svejking is reading or following instructions
literally, twisting their meaning beyond recognition and/or asking
offensively stupid questions while pretending not to understand.
This, coupled with occasional use of "the Czech truth" (outrageous,
deadpan lying), is what you've been doing here for months.
