Wow. A lot of you failed to get the joke.

Is this one of those not funny jokes, like setting someone's bed on fire? I hate those.

It's a good thing you posted this both here and in your own thread. Otherwise I might have missed how clever you were.

It's not as if it was hilarious, and maybe I should have used some kind of NSFW-equivalent joke indicator. Perhaps it's because this is the first post that I've ever done that's been leapt upon so hurriedly, and so blinkeredly, by trolls and naysayers and critics and cynics, but, really. Is this what it's come to?

A one and a half link, one line post; inoffensive, quietly jovial, pointing out a relevant (arguably!) blog entry with a cute chart of very Web 2.0 colours. So relevant that I considered MeTa'ing it in the first place.

I guess I was just so disappointed by the number of people who had nothing better to contribute than a few snarky words.

I am so sick of this "look at me" bullshit. Please delete.

... blog entry with a cute chart ...
... people who had nothing better to contribute ...

The venn diagram here is quite nearly circle.
