Was there anything your stalk^H^H^H^H^H research turned up that
might've given you a clue as to how to interpret that post and the
others? F'rinstance, did you happen to notice where it was posted, and

There's a concept you might want to acquaint yourself with. We in the
profession call it a Joke.
