I am afraid this was NOT the case: 1) Any 'sarcasm' would have been directed at somebody else (IIRC, somebody else wrote about this 'secret'); 2) To your greatest amazement... I meant no sarcasm; rather, I was jokingly imitating a well-known phrase; 3) Further, since this information (moused(8); LINT) is not difficult to find, there could have been no know-it-all attitude. Incidentally, you _might_ see something of a know-it-all attitude if anybody were to explain to you an __undocumented__ [cool] feature.
