I think Blake does not truly know the definition or usage of it. ;-)
Irony is rampant on the internet.

Here is a good quote that helped me to understand the true meaning. I
used to use it as a sig file:

"My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son of a bitch". -- Jack
Nicholson

I learned about irony from the Brit's on usenet lists. They seem to have
a fine understanding of it.
