Hi Lisi, your fish-hook bite is delightful, but perhaps sub-optimal
for your own emotional state; perhaps I can suggest something like the
following for next time:
"However, read the archive and you will see many posts from Ralph
whining about issues irrelevant to the technical questions posted"
or whatever :)
The point is, at that point in the conversation, you can get away with
just about anything. Ralph's bait can be seen as excellent training
for you though, so some would consider that thanks would be in order
:)

And here, I can suggest something like the following:
"Dear AP, unfortunately you have made an assumption here based on
irrelevant non-technical innuendo from Ralph (see above). But I won't
hold that against you. For now :)"
Best regards to all, and may your life journey's be fruitful,
