Maybe, but I also think you don't recognize sarcasm/scepticism 
when you encounter it. Next time I'll put it in big letters in 
front of it, so it's more clear. 
(Obviously I'm the only one seeing it, and that is a serious 
remark...)

Let's make something clear:

I'm not trying to convince anyone here. I just am absolutely
not convinced that all this has any practical use whatsoever 
other than for people writing a runtime engine.

Hence the scepticism. 

Oh well, I must be more clear. Lesson learned.

Michael.
