Kent,
Thanks,  I'm aware of that wiki.  I'd already checked it before I 
posted, ( to be certain of the accepted use of the expression, D'OH).
BTW, here's the "definition" given in that wiki; it's exactly what I 
take as the meaning:

"used to comment on an action perceived as foolish or stupid."

Based on that widespread understanding of the expression, my post was 
intended to question the OP's intent in using DOH in his post. Words 
do have meanings. It seemed pretty negative (and probably 
inappropriate) kind of expression to use there. This one doesn't 
convey what the user intended ("WOW"). Perhaps he can be excused if 
"Homer Simpson" isn't his native language. ;-)
