Yes. It was kind of a rhetorical question, and maybe yours was a rhetorical answer! But I was trying to make a point. I think its use on any thread where there's been some contention is risky, because it's hard to tell who or what the snort is directed at or in answer to. There can be a lot of hidden meaning, real or perceived, in such a <snort>. I don't think it's a problem so much when the thread has been light from the start -- say over in social -- and I'm not saying I was offended by this snort. I just took advantage of an opportunity to point out that sometimes I think the snorts here are ill-advised.
