Are you impressed? Shocked? Offended? Could you elaborate a little bit with regards to what you mean by "wow"?

I'm guessing the "wow" meant something like "Huh, 'meritocracy' -- that's rich, coming from the guy born with an emerald spoon in his mouth." HTH!

Well I'm not guessing, I'm asking.

Yeah, and I answered. Did I ever say you were guessing???

It's just that the best reply you got was a(n educated) guess; that's the best you can get, until and unless the original commenter themselves replies.

So you can take my reply as at least something to go on, or... Idunno, live out your life thinking this was one of life's great unsovable mysteries?
