Thanks Alex, as usual bring the list back down to earth. Well except for some. It was almost as fun as reading the article to see edhall@weirdnoise.com and "Digita'lis /" <erichward@hotmail.com> make abject fools of themselves replying seriously to Alex's latest satirical (or admittedly semi-satirical) post. Honestly, if calling it op-ed wasn't enough, how about the last two sentences:
quoted 3 lines Let's all unsubscribe in protest.>Let's all unsubscribe in protest. > >You first, though.
I laughed out loud... The whole article is written in mock-serious Editorial tone, and I guess it's some measure of Alex's success as a satirist that some people were taken in. Don't you remember back a couple of months (don't know exactly when) to Alex's last Reuterz article? Ah well, thanks Alex. I'll stay on the list as long as you're there to make something worthwhile out of all the garbage we get subjected to...
