...neither 'mount --help' or 'man mount' makes *any* mention of this additional functionality of the '-f' flag. See? I'm *not* imagining things. :-)The guy was simply stating that he's human and headn't read it yet. He also pointed out that an implicit behavior was not explicitly documented as such, but more so infered by output when using the --no-executable flag.

To you guys saying 'get off the computer' [snip potentially offensive bits] Cut people some slack for once - they're on the same side as you trying to achieve the same goals.
The correct response to someone telling you to use "-f" is to read the man page and, when you see that you've had a previous misconception about "-f", nod to yourself and get on with your life. You don't have to send email telling us all that you thought "-f" meant something else, (especially when you hadn't previously exposed your misconception) and you surely don't have to send *two* messages explaining your confusion when there really is nothing to be confused about.
