Two days later, I come back to find this downvoted a lot, even though I meant it literally. I've been a Wikipedia editor for some 10+ years, only a few of us use bots, we're not generally very sophisticated, so the assumptions amused me.
For what it's worth I've popped an upvote on your comment and will go out of my way to double check snark is actually snark before replying to things in future.
Sorry for the misfiring assumption!
