Nope.  Nothing of the sort.

I was indicating that your "genuine workstation" phrasing was humorous.

You mean, that some folks find various of your posts in comp.os.vms to 
be funny?    Um, why do you think some folks continue to read c.o.v.?   
You and some other folks that post here should go on the road - perform 
at some clubs - it's some truly great comedy that y'all have worked 
out, after all, and so much of what gets posted here goes unrecognized. 
 It's a shame, really.
