Sarcasm, posers

A comment recently popped up talking about one of our correspondents and a possible bias this guy has for his alma mater. I took the comment very seriously and responded with a very long, supportive post about how wonderful this correspondent is. All true, of course. But then the commenter follows up with he was just joking around and is good friends with said correspondent. I laughed, but it’s one more example of how sarcasm doesn’t always come through in the written word.

I also recently received an e-mail from Kelly Welch, who was the “author” of the comment that said two coaches are notorious recruiters. I was always curious that this poster never responded after the furor that erupted after that posting. Well, I got an e-mail just the other day from Kelly Welch, saying someone else wrote the comment and just used the name Kelly Welch. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I certainly can see that happening.

    Hmmm, I’m betting that was sarcastic.
