No, but you drew the comparison.

No stranger than you leaping to demand an apology. My point was, that
I didn't see an deliberate insult, and by the sound of it neither did
Josh. I saw a humorous response that was unfortunately missing a
smiley to make the intent clear for those that haven't been in these
parts for years. I would have thought that you too would know Greg
well enough to know that he wasn't trying to be rude but was making a
joke.

Anyhoo, I don't think this is worth wasting any more bandwidth so I'll
shut up now.
