So I gathered from your comment. So I clarified the comment you commented on.

I wasn't mocking you. I stopped following the top/bottom posting debate some time ago. (And I prefer 
bottom-posting myself, as this and all prior posts by me amply demonstate.)  But I saw a post from 
Pouncer (who hadn't posted in ages) so I read it, then read the comments on it.  Seeing that you'd 
clearly not "got" Pouncer's (obvious to those who already knew his sense of humor) joke, I clarified 
it for you.

Or at any rate, that was what I intended to do. Both times.  If I unintentionally came off as snide 
or condescending, please accept my apologies.
