It’s always good to try and make the meaning of posts clear, particularly as nods, winks and smiles are not available options, but I suspect Fido was being ironic.
I’d also recommend the letter’s contents for use as a template for how to set out a polite, reasoned argument, but with a touch of irony – in that it implies, how did you miss this important conference.
