Is there something wrong with people expressing their concerns and sympathies?

I saw the sarcasm, but I am curious as to why bother posting the subject in that way. Use of sarcasm did not seem appropriate as an opening statement. Perhaps as a reply to the question, but not as an opening statement.

It came across to me as someone saying, "geez, it aint that big a deal".

It really wasn't, I assure you, I was kind of making fun of Dan for not acknowledging that in his news item, as if it were just because apolyton was just getting so much better and faster that more poeple just spontaneously decided to use it... (he was the one that posted the news item, correct?)

I am fully aware than intonations are not very easy to transfer in text. I thought it unlikely that you meant it like that, but thats the way it looked as written.

Well, lets see, I see a news update on CNN, post it and within a minute noticed 6 more threads on the same topic floating around.... Lot easier then getting into say http://www.cnn.com/

Since the OT doesn't give post counts anymore, this would be a great way to give your PC a kick...
