I just read Roland Moore's message and did a couple of archive
searches and was shocked to learn that the comment in question was
meant to be taken literally.  Like I said I don't know what is going
on and what has gone down in the past, but in the context of such
a situation my message seems inappropriately frivolous and I want
to make clear that none of the wording was written with that in mind.
