Spammed? I miss something? Probably have. I've been digging through my old Bloom County books and reliving the good old days when we had to make fun of republicans taking over the world and leaving it in a state of higgledy-piggledy and..

Well anyway, That's hilarious!

I remember a time at Metafilter where new users could be gently reminded of the rules without being brutalized. Is this really called for? Are you people like this in real life? Sad. Very sad.

y6y6y6, this is not a case of a clueless new user. poke around metatalk for more info.

Another sad fact, apart from the one y6y6y6 noticed :
this place is meant to be reserved for comments on the post, but that doesn't seem to mean that much to some MeFi users. Which is very sad, indeed.

You're right, kchristidis. I was wrong. I should not have posted that information because, as it turns out, jpl is not Geoff Laugen at all. I was too hasty in my digging and did not look deep enough.

As for the real JPL, we're on to him.
