Sorry Klaus, I actually thought Jon made that comment. 'Condescending' doesn't apply to you, at least.
Here's jon tipping his landscaper. "Hey, José, come over here for a second. Listen, José, I don't want you to feel bad about taking this, because honestly this amount of money is meaningless to someone like me. But for you, I feel like it would be life-changing. And jon-nyc is in the business of changing lives, José. Today, it is my great privilege and honor to change yours. Take this 20 dollars, José, and go buy your five kids a Happy Meal. Tell them it's from uncle jon. There's a good lad. Now run along."
I'm sure nobody has ever accused you of being condescending, Horace.
That is correct. Thank you for recognizing my humility. Few people do. In fact it's one of my most-overlooked qualities. The masses have proven unable to recognize many of the things that make me superior to them, but I appreciate your perceptiveness in this regard.

I'm going to leave you a shiny new penny as a special thank you for your humility.
