I wasn't complaining. I found the reaction strange, and wanted to get an opinion (or two) about the whole incident. Even if I was complaining, isn't that what an internet forum is for?

*Whew*! Thank goodness somebody with an English degree was here to explain the whole thing to me. What do you call that thing again, where there's some sort of distance or tension between what is said and what is meant?
You seem to have confused sarcasm with irony. But wait, did you really, or is this some intricate plot to belittle me further (much as I seem to deserve it for asking about a derailleur)? Damn, I just don't know. Nor do I care anymore.
