Now that godix has actually built up a solid amount of credibility, I wish he'd say some things more directly instead of hiding behind the ambiguity of satire. But when change is not worth the effort, who am I to ruin anybody's fun?
Agreed. And I'm not specifically talking about godix here, but those types of posts in general. I just never bother to pay any attention those posts that try to be funny by making attempts at sarcasm. It looks too try hard, underminds the point (and coincidently the poster as well), and gets lost in the text. It's actually quite hard to detect the meaning of sarcasm over a text comminicating medium like the internet. It takes a proper tone of voice (audio) to pull it off well.
As for me, I find sarcasm not very helpful because like I said, it usually gets lost in the thick of things and the whole point never comes across. I usually just

and move on. I rarely ever find any of it actually funny, but much more often I find it lame and unhelpful. In other words: it's a turn off. But that's just me.
Also, while we're on the subject of helpful members...
