ARE HUMOROUS POSTS ALLOWED?
Absolutely. Humour (humor, Keeter, although we know you’re not funny anymore) is greatly appreciated in rec.woodworking, especially satire, sarcasm and irony. Don’t worry, people in this newsgroup always get it when you are trying to be funny or ironic. You could also use a disclaimer (See Disclaimer FAQ) to make sure people get it, but that sort of spoils it and, anyway, it used to be only a certain individual who pretended not to get the posts from another certain individual and vice versa and they ended up in highly entertaining and articulate flame war, with exegesis and logic chopping that rivalled the best that mediaeval scholastics or talmudic scholars came up with. However, trolls are generally frowned upon. Taking advantage of newbies’ and oldbies’ innocence about things liked armed Canadian EPA agents and church pews is a serious sign of bad form. Did you get that David, eh? Trolls feed very well on the wreck. Also any joke about 9/11 is NOT FUNNY and completely unacceptable!
