"Sardonic" might have been the word.  That's me, quite often.

Hi Adam, and all,

After reviewing my own words, I believe that I personally owe Adam
an apology. The statement "being humorously sarcastic" was a poor
choice of words on my part as it was certainly not my intent to imply that Adam was trying to be rude or insulting, only that he
was joking. A check of the dictionary reveals that in most circum-
stances, the term "sarcasm" has a definite negative conotation. Open mouth, insert foot, David ;^( I have met Adam and consider him a very good personal friend and would certainly never intentionally try to paraphrase his statements in a malicious way. Again Adam, please accept my apology for putting you in the uncomfortable situation of having to explain the intent of your statement as that was certainly
not my intention.

Sincerely,
David

While I was joking, I never meant it as an insult. In
fact, I WAS half-way serious about a possible way to
handle the edge corona. While it may seem like too
much trouble for most of us, consider the following:
How many people would seriously consider fabricating
their own spun-aluminum toroids, winding their own
"variacs", or even winding their own pigs? Yet some of
our very own list members have not only done the
above, but have done so elegantly.
