Ron Davies: "That is, the whole post was sarcastic.    Including:   "Sure is nice to know, though, that the IMF head is blameless in this--after all, he was set up."    Repeat:   that was sarcastic.   And if nothing else, the "Of course."    that followed it should have tipped off the reader.    All readers."   


Ron, I got your post..and dug it(for once)...including the sarcasm. I had no problem with it, at all..in fact, your sarcasm got the thread off to a more realistic vein!..so....all readers????

Now ya' must really be puzzled....!!
