Leading with "this is such a ridiculous post. thanks for the laugh" is not needed. The rest of your content is good, but insults are beneath us! All you are doing by leading with a caustic statement is putting some people - who you otherwise might be able to convince - off reading the rest of your content. The others who read because of the opening salvo didn't need convincing anyway.
