My bad, I meant for this to come off more funny than snarky. Appreciate the check. EDIT: Upon finishing reading the other comments on this article though...I feel a bit singled out. :)

  Didn’t seem snarky to me. Seemed pointed.

  Definitely not singling you out! probably the other comments were posted later, or I didn't see them for some other reason.

That was funny, and not at anyone else's expense so it doesn't qualify as snark.

  That's a fine distinction about snark which I will have to think about. The comment itself just joins two clichés. That is too obvious and shallow to be interesting, and you can't be funny without being interesting.
