No, problem, I knew what you meant.  But someone agreed with your post, 
so I responded to make sure we didn't get snarked:

"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true."

-- The Hunting of the Snark: an Agony in Eight Fits by Lewis Carroll

Will he aim at your enemy?� -- from the Laiden novels by Sharon Lee and
