I don't know. I kept poking around looking for ANYTHING to tip me off 
that it was satire, but eventually came away convinced that shelley (or 
whoever) was just one MORE king hell looney.

Maybe, since it's impossible that any thinking person could truly think 
tcp/ip is a commie plot, that's supposed to be the tip off?

Satire could be appreciated more readily when the general public was not 
quite so blindingly stupid, I think. "These days" it's difficult to tell 
who's kidding, when the whole game is a blatant farce.

imho, naturally, ;-),
