Was the comedian a Brit named Stanley Unwin or an American named
Fred ???
73, Ian.



I just can't remember Ian.

Michael

Stanley Unwin's your man. Before he became a comedian, he was a BBC
transmitter engineer, so he was one of us...

By us, of course, I don't include Szczepan. My feeing is that he's
either :

1 Far gone with senile dementia OR
2 An academic troll who's been winding up Usenet groups for years

I think (2) is more likely - dementia is progressive, and I'd expect
Szczepan's ramblings to get gradually more and more incoherent. Instead
there is a strangely consistent quality to them.

So you don't reckon he could also be a computer, programmed to carry out
the Turing Test?

Anyway, I killfiled him years ago.

Where's the fun in that? In this sad world, we often need a bit of
light-hearted relief and amusement.
