No, the email is making a point.
The point was, that most people doi not see put downs designed
specifically for people with just retrograde views as funny -- and
thank you indeed for being a straight man for my punch line.
This goes to people who think that sexist comments and put downs
are funny -- the audience at large does not seem to think so. If you

close to a a significant segment of the list membership.
