The problem is that everyone's definition of a smartass reply is different. I know that you've gotten upset with my replies to your offers but I think I simply send back a logical answer. For example, after advertising for an upgrade over Vina at 2B or starting pitching I was offered Justice in an inquiry about Jose Valentin. I replied :

While I'd trade Valentin in the right deal, I'm not going to trade a
SS/CF with 28 HR's for an old DH/corner OF coming off a bad,
injury-plagued year. I've got Vlad & Burrell for my corner OF's and I'm
not in a DH league, why would I want Justice ?
Take a look at my roster or read my posts to see what I'm looking for:
an upgrade at 2B and starting pitching.

If that is a smartass answer to you, then maybe you should put more thought into your initial offer so as not to receive replies that hurt your feelings.
