Strange things forums... 
I've been thinking the same thing reading through these posts. I don't mind saying that you fooled me. I bet less than 1% got the joke with the first reading simply because you see so many people complaining in the exact same way.
To me, the best part was that Bort took the time to respond, which he rarely does with complaint threads. He picked the wrong time to start. But I'm not putting down Bort. I think most of us were fooled despite what many would have you think.
I'm just sorry that I didn't read it sooner. I just read the thread title and skipped it for quite a while. Then I started wondering why it was still alive, so I decided to check it out.
Well done, sir.
