kre@ucbvax.ARPA (Robert Elz) (07/06/85)
For the amusement of many of you, and I hope the gross embarassment of others, here is a list of the reviews posted by Kelvin Thompson in the past month or so, and the followups they generated. I have two purposes, one to give people a pointer to the reviews so they may be able to reread any that they missed, or didn't realize were satirical. (Kelvin's articles are marked "<<<<<"). The other is to try to partially cure the terminal in mouth disease that seems to affect the net. Remember the net guidelines. THINK before posting a followup. Probably many of the people on this list might have noticed the satire in the reviews had they bothered to read them more carefully before letting fly. I have marked the articles from people who detected the satire with "****". The list is in chronological order of posting, it is possible (but by no means sure) that the posters of articles lower on the list could have read the earlier ones. Towards the end, of course, everyone realized what was going on, how many actually determined it for themselves, and how many were woken up by the earlier postings we will never know.
