No, you're right. This is the internet, and I should know better. Absolute cynicism and utter disregard for your fellow humanity is definitely the way to go. Thank you for teaching me the error of my ways - I'll try harder to be a worse person next time.

Silly me, I thought you were one of those well-meaning but misguided fools who imagined a girl needed vacuous pats on the head while not being taken seriously at all in order to encourage me to stay and add to gender diversity here, and never mind that I've been a member for 14 years and seem to probably have the most karma of any openly female member here.

My mistake. Carry on.
