Well, that is not exactly what I wrote. What I wrote was:

Well, here we go again... how about another round? :-) Tony, in
absolute good humor, wasn't there some sort of rule about checking the
archive of messages before posting a question? After all, I wouldn't
want you to be the first one to get trouted on this heretofore
trout-free day. :-)

But, hey, have it your way.

No one except maybe you (see below). But there is no chance of my
becoming a real moderator here, because I simply would not accept the
task. I am not qualified for moderating this type of mailing list -
and, given my workload, I cannot take more than a sporadic interest in
the discussion.

And my point was only that you asked a general question that you could
have answered for yourself if you only looked at some of the earlier
correspondence on this thread - a quite substantial amount. Anyway, I
think I stated quite clearly that what I was writing was in good
humor. I also added a few smilies... just to prove the point. :-)

However, I must say one thing here, Tony. If my remark to you was
enough to stop you from trying to help another member of this mailing
list, then you - and no one else - have effectively made me a
moderator of this list. Please don't do that. There is no reason at
all for you to be disheartened by my remark.

I guess we could all share the responsibility for that mistake - even
you who also posted your offer to help on this same thread - with no
attempt to change the title in context.

> Trouted for trying to help? That'll be a first.

FWIW, I was talking about being trouted for failing to check the
archive of messages before posting a question. And I was joking. And I
was talking about your being trouted by one of the list moderators,
not myself.

Well, at least I get your "best regards". Now I feel a lot better. :-)
