Read? Were you never a kid? Have you never watched kids? In the vast majority
of cases, young children will change from crying like the world is coming to an
end to laughing in seconds. Adults? Hardly.
Do you have to READ something somewhere to make it true? If so, I'll just go
write up a webpage somewhere to point to, if that will make you feel better about
it.

Ohhhhhh, Okkkkk. So saying "this site created by these guys is cooler than YOUR
site" isn't doing any damage, because it's about the site. No, it's got nothing
to do with the people that created the site (I certainly haven't run into any AI
sites that write themselves).
Todd, you lost this battle before you started. You're holding TLG to a standard
that you ignore yourself, no matter how fine YOU seem to want to split hairs to
get away with it.
