Your computer has a front panel?  Doesn't that block access to all the
vacuum tube relays and jumper wires?  Next, I bet you're even going to
tell me that your computer takes up less space than a hippo - preposterous!

  I always just bang two rocks together.  With a cute fluffy kitten trapped in
between.  It doesn't have quite as much computational power, but at least it's
needlessly sadistic and cruel.

  Much more satisfying.

  Apropos of nothing, it just occurred to me that if anyone ever wrote a
special version of cpp with custom features aimed specifically at entrants in
the IOCCC, it should be called a "C preposteriser".

It really is ok to be humorous in the Cygwin list.

Or do I mean contemptuously sarcastic?  Hmm.  Come to think of it there
obviously is no difference.

  I know, but I wouldn't have bothered with a silly "To:" line if I had meant
to send it there!

  Say, is that commutative?  I just wondered which would be worse:
contemptuous sarcasm, or sarcastic contempt.


  Oh wait!  I could be facetious too!

You're actually Doctor Chaotica, ruler of the cosmos, right?  Dave Korn
is just your pseudonym.

  No, it's worse than that - I am Dave Korn, and Doctor Chaotica is just my
pseudonym!  Muahahahaha-ha-ha-haaaaa!

  You had Monty Python sketches?  Luxury!  In my day we didn't have jokes, we
just had a transcript of a forty-year old weather forecast written in crayon
on a scrap of paper, and we had to laugh hysterically at it for twenty-nine
hours a day or father would beat us wi' rocks!

I've always suspected that the more-famous David Korn was just a shell
of a programmer compared to our version.  Now I know why.
