Re: Joey Hess is out?

Really? I may have unthinkingly assumed everyone reading was a native speaker is American English. In my dialect, "out" means "openly homosexual" far more often than "quitting". The joke had nothing to do with Mr. Hess and everything to do with mocking my own first reading of the subject line.

 Anyone else read the subject line and think, "Why would I care that 
 Joey is gay?"



Did you actually READ Joey's post.  Those were his very own words that 
were used in the subject:

" . . . I wish everyone well, but I'M OUT."

So your comment is just plain stupid IMO.
