If you were unable to come up with a suitable punchline for TB from VA who asks "Does this mean I don't have to use SOAP anymore?", feel free to use one of the following-

• Only if you are planning on leaving management and becoming a developer again
• It only matters if you think someone will notice
• I  guess you could stop, but using SOAP makes your interface more accessible
