Comedy is 99% timing, they say.

It started out with tww1fa mentioning this article about Russia's most prolific spammer being found bludgeoned to death in his Moscow apartment.  I mentioned this in Bitmines on ICB, and the following conversation ensued (edited to remove intervening irrelevancies):

<Apophys> they're going after the second fattest next?
<womble> I'd prefer to see legal means, not violence
<Alaric> well, apparently the problem is, in Russia spamming isn't illegal.
<Alaric> "In Russia, spam sends you."
<felix> it isn't illegal in the u.s. either
<pef> that's why vigilante justice is needed.
<womble> I don't mourn him but it's no way to run a society
<Alaric> agreed.
<Alaric> I mean, this kind of thing ought to be properly run, tickets sold, that sort of
<Alaric> thing.  And lions.  There should be lions.
[=Sign-on=] toast (toast@dsl092-000-121.sfo1.dsl.speakeasy.net) entered group
<toast> I AM TOAST. HEAR ME ROAR!
<Alaric> oi toast.  Funny you should say that right then.  ;)
<Apophys> clearly, a case of synchronicitoast

It's all about the timing.  :)

Cool.

You're busted!

I particularly like this ticket form, "User ticket #10" if that link doesn't work.

I gotta admit, though: THIS is a cool mod.  Someone put a lot of work into it.  Carmack?  Carmack?  Bueller?  Bueller?
