It's weird how different sets of people on different fora can react so differently to the same question - because of past history of the site.

Because the above comment was posted by a guest, a lot of people were automatically suspicious about the intentions of the author. On this other site I mentioned before, there are a lot more trolls - who are more upfront with their nastiness. So a troll would never post a harmless comment like that and nobody would be suspicious. In fact it would (and indeed has) generate a very interesting discussion about how we act roles in our lives. Also, because it has pretty much given up the idea that the forum must only tackle movie related topics, we discuss a much wider range of topics than here. So a question like the above wouldn't be treated hostilely (is that a word?) because it was off-topic.

Anyway, I would be sad if the history of this site led to an over suspicion and paranoia on this site, so I try to take all posts at face value. And it is the one thing that really annoys the trolls - refusing to get riled up by them.

BTW - Bagpuss is pretty much me - though leaning towards the childish and fun side of my personality.
