BEEHAVER:

>Aww. C'mon. That's a terrible way to start. Kinda gets a person's back up.
You know we love your answer.
>Many of us anticipate your explanations as eagerly as we await our
daily 'Joke of the Day' email. (Perhaps a few of us find the assertion,
repeated often, that there is one single cause for all the ills that befall
honey bees to be a joke that is wearing thin, but then they'll likely have
you in their kill file). Most of us who understand logic appreciate the
predictable chuckle.

That was unnecessary. There is absolutely no reason for such insults.

>post hoc ergo proper hoc

It is correctly spelled post hoc ergo propter hoc
