              or TRUTH WOULD BE BETTER THAN ALL THIS FRICTION


> 1)  Normand Vielleux posts a drawing that doesn't contain an '8'.

      Or somebody tokes one of his posts with 8's and repostes it with 
      the 8's changed to $'s.

      Row suspects who the anonymous poster is, and draws a nude picture 
      of him (showing all his shortcomings) and posts it.

      Except an anonymous poster.

      But I do it like the cowardly lion, not the Scarecrow, and I post 
      it anonymously.

      No that's hoping for too much.

      Again?

      Except for an anonymous poster who accuses me (Scarecrow) of 
      wanting to start the group in order to take over the world.

      Row answers "It's nono of your business you lazy so-and-so."  He posts 
      anonymously, of course.

      To make 'Bob' in all those different lettering styles, now that would 
      take a big ego.  But I could claim the FBI made me do it.

      Now you've gone too far, this is really a joke, right?

   We could call it 'Fractured FAQ' and everybody can contribute 
(anonymously of course).  We can post it to news.answers, since I know 
how to do that (anonymously of course).
