     No, there isn't.

     It was sarcasm.

     The entire picture was a joke.

     I haven't.

     I really don't care. I'm just having fun.

     I was just finding it very entertaining that the two of you were acting
out the nature of the picture.

     Thank you, it's embarrassing.
     I thought you two would stop after a day or so, but it's getting harder to
ignore the two of you bickering over something I had a hand in.

>If it is your choice to regard Casso's activities here purely as light-

     No, I was just trying to inject some humor into the situation, but I guess
I'll just leave it to the two of you. I don't agree with what he did, but I
don't want to get in a holy war about it either. He'll just go away. In my
opinion, YOU are the one that is keeping him going. Hold on a sec . . . I've
just copyrighted everything I've said in this entire post, you cannot respond
to it without infringing on them.
     I'm sick of this already.
