&lt;p&gt;Is everybody here aware that Murphy capitulated?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was called sarcasm, Victor. If you&amp;#39;re not aware of the concept, this should help clear things up a bit: &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sarcasm"&gt;http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sarcasm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Axiomatic Economics</title><link>http://mises.org/Community/forums/thread/45802.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:29:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:45802</guid><dc:creator>Geoffrey Allan Plauche</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://mises.org/Community/forums/thread/45802.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://mises.org/Community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&amp;PostID=45802</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://mises.org/Community/Themes/mises2008/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Onion Eater:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;p.s.&amp;nbsp; Please don&amp;#39;t ban me, Geoffrey!&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m quoting Murphy, not He Whom We Cannot Name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;p.p.s.&amp;nbsp; If you&amp;#39;re really wondering whether HWWCN payed Murphy his $1000, why don&amp;#39;t you just ask Murphy?&lt;/p&gt;
