This is very funny.  Much funnier than the stuff that pissed everyone off.
There was little fun or funny there, and I'm really startled to imagine
"blow hards" here -- some people are more analytical than others, but is it
really fair to say this?

Pissed at jokes?  Like many of us, I try to toss in jokes and to be
light-hearted, but I don't think that's how it was, in this context we're
discussing and the childish messages.

And very few people here are simplistic enough to speak in terms of "the
all-powerful Salinger"; perhaps you missed a few posts and misunderstood a
discussion?

There are a lot of things not to take seriously.  But at the same time the
world has a lot of sandboxes to play in, and this isn't really one of them.
Sand and computers ... I have to get out the dust mop all the time when
that happens around here....
