I've found that humor and sarcasm are often difficult to portray in an
email. This often ends up with people mis-understanding the message. At
best, people just don't think it's funny. At worst, it offends people.
However, I really think humor is funny <grin>, so I will continue to be
sarcastic when I'm in the mood to do so. I just have to remember to add
smilies and *gestures* and <expressions> to make sure it's clear when
I'm kidding around.

PS: I'm currently kidding around :oP
