The tally so far on private responses from those who got sucked in by the joke post about filtering messages from George is six, split 50-50 between pro and anti-George factions. The anti-George group thought it was a grat idea and wanted more info on how to do it. The pro-George group was shocked and saddened that someone would not want to read every word. Some messages didn't count as pro or anti-George but get an honorable mention. One guy objected to me censoring myself on First Amendment grounds! I guess I'll have to watch out for lawsuits from the ACLU if I choose not to read the "Village Voice". Another guy knew it was a joke and still wanted to know how to do it! A few of the messages appeared to be of the "Ready, FIRE, Aim" variety. People got angry and sent a reply in knee-jerk fashion before reading the whole post. I thought sure the "anus lapping bone smugglers" vs "bone smuggling anus lappers" part would tip them off too easily. I'm honored that Rich Pyle added me to his top ten list but I defer to the masters. Farb's "baked potato up-the-ass in a drysuit" post is still a classic for starting out reasonable, then going completely over the top and STILL suckering a few people in. Cheers, Rick
