'seem to' must be critical here, because the only person I've actually 
directed any of that to was Morbus.

Wait, no, I directed a single line to Walt:

That's it. The rest of my message was to Morbus. You're right, I never 
told you in IRC, and I certainly don't necessarily expect you to know.

Here, let me explain myself just a touch:

Morbus' opinion is important. I value Morbus' opinion very much. So do 
quite a few other people. Morbus' name is well known enough that people 
know who he is, and when they read his message, they are going to assume 
he knows what he's talking about. Particularly people who are less 
involved with Drupal discussion or development directly.

Morbus is also a giant pain in the ass, and well known for his tendency 
to be very strong and somewhat personal in his criticisms. So as it 
happens, I was giving him a little of his own medicine.

If it helps soothe your ruffled feathers, I do recognize that it may be 
more difficult for you to recognize that the theme has both fixed and 
fluid options. On the other hand, I wasn't directing anything at you, 
and frankly I'm highly amused that you've decided to -- at length -- go 
off on me here.

Also, for what it's worth, Morbus and I have already actually discussed 
this and we're both laughing about it.
