[Sigcr-l] RE: Sigcr-l Digest, Vol 12, Issue 1

[Joe Rubleske]

Er, I assumed that the first message was sarcastic; i.e., recognized  
that the article was satirical (being from The Onion and all), but now  
I'm wondering...  is this still facetiousness, or are some people  
taking this "Google purge" article at face value?  If the former then  
apologies for being a little *slow*.  If the latter, well, check out  
www.theonion.com.
