The ironic beauty of this is that John calls it a 'socialist nirvana'
and laments the 'dead ends' he got when he tried to research the
founder of the site (I can only assume he meant me).

But I don't suppose it would be too difficult to research me and find
that I'm sufficiently pro-capitalist to make even most conservatives'
hair stand on end.  :-)

Good for a chuckle.

But I wouldn't worry too much about a horde of conservative vandals
coming in and putting jokes all over the site.  If nothing else,
conservatives can at least usually respect private property.  "You
kids get off'n my proppity!"

I'm glad you left out the 80s conservatives!  We rocked! ;-)
