Unfortunately, being ironic on a public email-list or forum needs to be
applied with care. When a less knowing person comes in it can go
terribly wrong in this case. Lack of traditional markings like :-> etc
which could give a hint is also important. Within a group of peers it's
not as much a problem as when others come in...

Cheers,
Magnus
