No, I&#x27;ve so far used too 
few words for you to get
my point:<p>My point is a conjecture that
the purpose of the OP
was to remind enemies of
Israel about the old story
that the US gave Israel
plutonium for nuke bombs
and covered it up with
an <i>accounting error</i>.<p>Whether the old story
is true or not, my conjecture
about the purpose of the
OP can still be true.<p>Again, have had to know the
old story, which I assumed
nearly everyone at HN would,
to understand my first post.<p>Or the <i>obscure</i> part, sure,
my conjecture was that the
purpose of the OP was obscure,
so, as a joke, my post
was similarly obscure --
apparently too obscure.<p>I just tried to make
an interesting post.
I hurt no one.  
But I&#x27;ve been attacked --
lost about 30 points here.<p>But, maybe I&#x27;ve learned
a lesson about the HN audience:
Got to write for the 
highly sensitive HN
audience or will be attacked.
Okay.  Likely the same reason
politicians say so little.  Once
from a very socially astute
person I heard the advice, &quot;Never
tell anyone anything.&quot;.  Hmm ....
