I did not mean for it to be backlash, sorry.

You believe that her post was absurd, apparently. Aside from the
backlash you gave (she obviously put a lot of work into it at least in the
form of typing) you also posted a potentially absurd post. Demonstrating
absurdity by being absurd - one of my favorite tactics and that is why I
took it to a new level of absurdity by resurrecting the top/bottom post
flame war.  (As a side motive, I did want to express my views on that war
one more time. Who ever tires of saying vim is better than emacs, after
all?)

Ok, folks, nothing to see here. I can tell it's the middle of the
semester - we're all seeking escape in the strangest ways.
