Boy, do we have no sense of humor here, or what?! You mean, you can't tell
it's a joke if it's not in net.jokes? I was going to post a remark to
the effect, if we're going to ban something we should ban rock and roll
'cause we know for sure that it causes all kinds of bad and anti-social
things. (I mean, I can vouch for that.) But I was afraid someone would
take me seriously, instead you took the original posting seriously ...
