In the second sentence, I already assume the blogger is well 
versed in a wide variety of scripting languages. Since it is 
assumed that it is too presumptuous to be telling him what to do, 
it becomes an absurd premise and is thus meant as humorous. I did 
add the smiley; is there a need to take it so seriously?

If Rowan Atkinson were to do a stand up Black Adder act here, I 
guess he'll be met with a lot of blank faces. *sigh* I won't say 
anything more on this thread. :-)
