It's that typical Internet thing. You had a tone in which you wrote it, but the tone doesn't travel with the words. I do that ALL THE TIME, and I often wonder if I should write back with the tone that was meant, because I realize after I hit send how it could be read with a different tone.
BTW, I saw what I thought was the funniest thing on a blog. Someone had gotten off-track and was ranting and raving about a very loosely-related topic. Another commenter said "Hi ____, I remember you from Usenet." I really thought that that was a reference to flaming and Usenet's reputation. However, they really *did* know each other from Usenet.
