I know its a troll, and I know I should not rise to it. But what is it about
Eryk and his irony bypass?

Eryk, your dishonesty in how you treat such postings, by ignoring the main
point of the post in order to make a laboured point, is staggering. Do you
know what an Aunt Sally is? Well, you just put one up and knocked it down.
Wow.

If, as Whid says, this is an example of the return of conceptual art, it
just gets better and better.
The relevant url:

> Pentagon Abandons Plan for Futures Market on Terror

is now running a totally blank white page. Get the world to look at your
work, then rub yourself out.

It's very beautiful and very strange.

Well done Joseph, clap, clap, ha, ha, bonk

Joseph Franklyn McElroy has been a poet, painter, performer, programmer, and
pompous pontificator most of his life. He has many accomplishments, of which
he will tell you if asked. He plans many more accomplishments. He lives in
New York City which he intends to help rebuild. He is married to Donna and
has one son from a previous marraige who lives in North Carolina.

(Well, his son lives in North Carolina. What is this, some sort of
conspiracy ...)
