Dude, I didn't take it that way - the tone with which you asked the question seemed more like genuine curiosity, as opposed to trolling. Hopefully Mark took it that way as well...?
:) I thought Jessica looked a little horrified. And I had some people mention it to me later how I "insulted" Mark. Mark himself was definitely not offended or insulted.
I agree - he didn't seem offended to me. As evidence, I remembered yesterday that he actually followed up with a really great comment that I think a lot of folks missed. I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like: "Everyone likes controversial questions and controversial answers, but we don't necessarily learn a lot from them."
