Reading it back again, I still think it's funny. Because the PS reads very much like an afterthought. The same kind of information could have been
put
over in a much simpler way, for example: "Blake's 7 script editor and
story
writer Chris Boucher is going to be selling some original scripts from the series on ebay." But instead Judith only tells us who he is in the PS. And then does it (to my mind) in quite a comic way.
If you got a laugh out of it, then good for you. There's no accounting for strange tastes in humour. Nor, I hasten to add, should there be.
The reason you've put a few backs up round here is because it looked like you were making a rather nasty swipe at Judith herself, and she's something of a highly respected person with at least some people here. I can accept in retrospect that you intended nothing of the kind and this was just another case of crossed wires. They do happen.
I think Sally's right, there's little or no point in pursuing this further, especially if it's only going to degenerate into a flame war that nobody wants. Into ploughshares etc.
