Yes. It was. :|

Well, of course.  When someone comes up with a tool that can deduce
the senders intent, people will start becoming obsolete :)

Fair enough.  Still, I'd like to know if (and how) one can remove an

Thanks for clearing that up.

An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you
really care to know.
