I can confirm this.  Here at Lunatic Laboratories Unlimited we have been
conducting extensive studies of this entity, and we have concluded that
there is no actual protoplasmic Andy Scott Beals.  We've figured out that
he's an artificial system administrator program that worships the idea of
"useful information" as signal and "humor" as noise.  Anything with an indecent
signal to noise ratio (according to him) shouldn't exist in the first place-
inefficient.  Now remember, Andy, this is just a rumour..  But we can't help
it if it's confirmed easily....

Hell with it.  I OWN Lunatic Laboratories Unlimited, and my opinions ARE
those of the whole damn company!
