Obviously, some people aren't getting the joke. Brad's posting about the joke book was really a subtle pun. No, not a pun -- what's that thing that sounds the same backwards? Notlob. But seriously, if we carry postings about people shipping tapes and diskettes for cost, I don't see where Brad's posting about a collected works volume for only $9.95 is out of line. If those kind of things are suddenly off-limits, we better get on the case of the X Consortium since they often offer their tapes with a price attached. Why is it suddenly open season on Brad? Do you realize he is one of a handful of people who willingly takes the abuse of people to produce a highly-enjoyed newsgroup? Wait a minute -- that makes him a member of a minority, and anyone who picks on him is persecuting a member of a minority. Yeah, that's the ticket! You're discrimintaing against him! Cut it out, you narrow-minded biggots!
