and from anther mail of mine, the word "dictator".

I saw this fake D*pfer post in the morning. After the first
shock (with people already answering it seriously) I was
quite released when I saw it must be a fake.
Unfortunately, the way how it was faked brought up other
memories, and in a moment of paranoia I thought this must
be from a certain person. Which is possible, but quite
unlikely.
So please, who ever faked that D*pfer mail, take my apology:
I did not intend to identify you with a dictator, nor did
I intend to identify you with a certain other person of
the list's history who liked to go in dictator disguise.
As for your mail not being funny, it may as well have been
my lack of humor. 
Personally I think a D*pfer joke now and then is ok, but
I wanted to avoid people bashing a "fake D*pfer" and
making fools of ourselves. And while I was proud not
having been fooled by the D*pfer disguise, I probably
fooled myself with a different connotation.
So please have a good laugh on my flash of paranoia, and
don't hold a grudge against me.
