This is what I get when I try to make a clever observation at 3 am after a solid day of repairing computers--I'm not so much with the clever. I made assumptions about the assumptions of other commenters in trying to be clever, which was none too bright.
Which might be overexplainy, but I'd rather be that than rude. My apologies for being a twit, and best of luck finding agreeable companionship.
