Bull.  Arne's guess was exactly correct: I had never heard of J until 
seeing it mentioned here.  I didn't even care what it was until I was 
curious as to whether it was really all that hard to find out on one's own.

And, as I suspected, it wasn't.  It took me literally just a handful of 
seconds to find out what it was.  You really were just being lazy.  And 
not even in a smart way (you know, the kind of lazy where you actually 
wind up saving time).
