Whoosh.... No... LOL I was making reference to another Whose Line game, (as Damian was with the all questions thing)... And the hyphen thing. :)

There is no word play or a significant reference to a program only available to a special audience. Seems to me that when Damian got to the end of his email he noticed that each sentence ended in a '?' That's not usual. Most emails contain assertions and questions. The humour is really when he appended a "?" to his own name. Was he really questioning what he was called?
