Mister Matt's right, of course. But well-spotted about Papa, Craww.

Oh, I know. I just meant in the broader sense. I certainly know about older snarkers. I asked my father if he thought I was snarky. He said he didn't even know what that meant. I asked him if he thought I was "parasitic and lazy in my discourse?" He said, "In your discourse? No. In other ways, certainly." So in less than 30 seconds I had a comment from him I could use to explain snark.
