I would never post ABOUT you, behind your back. But I may post TO you, and your proposed response will be music to my ears, as I am Gilbert reincarnate. [BTW, that is a flat-out lie - I never heard of the bloke 'til your mention]

Gilbert was knighted by Edward VII in 1907 and died in 1911, at age 74, while attempting to save a drowning woman.

From the same source, this, "Gilbert had shown a proclivity for caustic wit and sarcasm from an early age and it was this talent that put him on the path to greatness."

Well, I must say that I enjoy and participate in casutic wit and sarcasm (in moderation, of course), but in all humility cannot hold a candle to a master.

I am looking forward to a lesson, at your earliest convenience.

What a fun fellow. He says, "I wasn't born with enough middle fingers."
