OK, OK, then do it a better way if you have one.

Erm, which facts? That sorting by date will "remove old stuff"? Sorry I
was using the dictionary definition of `old' because standardising
meanings of words in a common language usually seems to enhance
communication.

Incorrect responses? Of dear, I have fallen foul of the thought police
again!

If you think about it you will realise that is quite illogical. How can
one just "attempt" sarcasm, and how could such attempts be graded into
degrees of quality. If I made what you judge as a a `poor attempt at
sarcasm', presumably it was unsuccessful, in your view, so no sarcasm
exists. So what's your beef?
