but the fanboys are still the fanboys, whether they're being poked fun
at or not.  isn't it the cruelest irony that wells' witty comment would
be completely misunderstood as genuine? (at least by me.)

it's like rock paper scissors...  cleverness beats ignorance, cynicism
beats cleverness, & ignorance beats cynicism.  matter of fact, i'm
beating my own ignorance as we speak with this clever discovery.  as if
it would make a difference...  (that's the cynical part).  oh well. 
(that's the ignorance part.)

it's friday & the office is so hot my brains are boiling, which might
explain that this reply makes no sense whatsoever.  (not like they ever
do.)
