Hey, Aussies, come back to loc.au where you are appreciated for your deadpan
humour and laidback attitude to family-friendliness. It's a sad sad world
that can't appreciate our sense of humour and it appears that's most of
Lugnet these days. Sigh!
I think we need our very own ambassador to do some statistics on the
proportion of Oz postings in non-Oz groups that elicit responses that:
* fail to get the joke
* take offence
* fail to get the joke and take offence
* accuse us of being trolls
* fail to get the joke and accuse us of being trolls
* attract irate responses from 'E who must not be named
* fail to get the joke, take office, accuse us of being trolls and attract
irate responses from 'E
* etc
Then we can embark on an evidence-based policy-making campaign seeking to
ban all non-Aussies from replying to any Oz posting in a non-Oz groups on
the grounds that statistically they are about to make complete galahs of
themselves.
