Bobad: As far as I know, there really are people in the world who are ignorant enough to believe that "hamburger" has the word "ham" in it. I don't know you well enough to know whether you are one of them. In fact, most of the time, I don't even notice the name of the person who posted a message; I just respond to the message. It's hard for me to form an idea of the personality of someone I have never met. Only a few Mudcatters have personalities that I can recognize. Most people are just generic Mudcatters to me.

In other words, my mistaking you for someone who didn't know the derivation of "hamburger" was nothing personal.

Maybe I'm also deficient in my ability to recognize irony. I know I've made that mistake many times.
