assume that comment is intended to be "funny"....?

Of course that's what it was. I read your post you said you liked comments but not just "nice"! then I wrote after it... "see what I did there" I was a joke simple as that.

good boy - I was just frightened a bit lol

Nice is better than nothing and there's no problem using it when it's interspersed with some more engaging comments.
