Maybe not intentionally, but then, who said memes were intentionally
transmitted? I'd have to say that, yes you did transmit that information,
becuase simply by the fact that someone recieved it, you must have.

Not intentionally, no, but transmission has, IMO, occured.

But that's how transmission works. If I were to have a phone conversation
with you, I could say something, in English which you would then interpret,
becuase you can speak English. Does this mean that I havn't transmitted
anything to you?
