For 16 years running, now. Sigh.

That might be the funniest thing I have read all day. Sadly it's so very true.

Old, but great.

Read it again for the first time.

Still, gave me a chance to read through it again. Really well done piece.

Yeah. Guess posting the entire thing on one page got around that system.

An accident. I saw it on proggit, and the first thing I did was check the front page to see if it was already here so I could read the comments and maybe add my 2c. I assumed it would already have been posted, I just failed to assume it would have been posted 171 days ago!

As for the one page thing, isn't that the "standard?" If not, please post the printable versions or one page versions of stories like this. Why page through an article just to cause exaggerated page views and ad impressions for someone with an old-school magazine business model???

No, I agree. I much prefer one-page posts. The the OP didn't, and that's why the system let it through.

The article gives you the option of seeing it all in one page, right next to the links to other pages.
