I know. It was a joke, thus the ":P", and so was the "O RLY?". But maybe the emoticon wasn't clear enough and I should've added an interrobang there? Anyway, thanks for the -10 karma points.

BTW, I do my spreadsheets with a Von Neumann derivate of a finite state automaton.

Perhaps "O RLY?" was not witty enough?
