- Who is this DMC bonehead, anyway? There's been so much traffic here
- recently that I've only been scanning the articles for real info or
- interesting debates. Needless to say, I've skipped a majority of the
- articles and seemed to have missed all this DMC stuff (perhaps for
- the better). On the surface it looks like this bozo is yanking a lot
- of chains and probably having a good time doing it (or perhaps I'm
- giving they guy too much credit and he's just a total moron, but
- probably not). I recognize the style, though. I've used it myself a
- few times before to spice things up when things are slow. I even did
- it on this newsgroup a few months back with that one article titled
- "Listen Up, Bobby Bashers" as many of you probably remember. Most
- people eventually figured it out, but some didn't (even after telling
- them!). If you want people to know that you're just pulling their leg,
- I think you need to end your article like those phony talk show callers
- do (Capt. Janks, etc.): "....and I was also wondering if it's not too
- late to order 'Butt Bongo Fiesta' by Howard Stern." Then again, people
- will probably still not get the joke.
-
- Oh well. I think I'll start reading this thread for a while in case it
- proves interesting.
