I agree: Just good humor; I mean, one must always remember the audience:
While this is far from a private group, and it shouldn't be, the audience
can still be safely assumed to be a bunch of Linux users and professionals
who understand the irony of the statement.

It's a sad day when a satire gets interpreted as an endorsement or
perpetuation of a crime...  And while I have seen some ridiculous things in
the news about courts upholding claims that posting a URL to a page that
may contain pirated data as being a crime in and of itself, I can't imagine
a day when we have to stop having fun out of fear of someone committing a
crime based on a joke...
