Guido, it isn't fair of you to jump into this thread and start scolding 
us for being sarcastic. Jelle's accusation that we "mostly" replied to 
Jerimiah with sarcasm was inaccurate.

The regulars here (especially Chris) spent a lot of time and effort 
trying to get Jerimiah to understand the need to justify the association 
between ord(), or some other arbitrary function, with the unary plus 
operator (or any other arbitrary operator). It is not nice to dismiss 
that effort as sarcastically shooting the idea down.
