  22. Joel, if you want to get taken seriously, you must stop doing
  23. things like proposing joke groups (to the extent of a CFV)
  24. and posting ASCII art in alt.config.  Every time you do 
  25. something like that, you hurt every other cause that you
  26. champion.  People will assume that you are either malicious
  27. or stupid.
