You can’t assume that because he has posted on LUGNET a few times, he is reading or aware of anything that is going on on LUGNET. The only real way to know if someone is a regular reader is if that person posts often each week. Sure, there are regular lurkers, but you have no tangible way to verify that.

I firmly believe lar has a team of small girls in Africa tapping away on laptops that read the entire internets and give him a daily report. It’s the only possible explanation for his apparent ability to be everywhere.


   Further, merely because LUGNET is a public forum in no way means that the entire world is privy to what is said in it.

The entire world doesn’t need to. Only lar, who, as far as I know, has a computer, an internet connection, and an evident, if possibly fading, knowledge of Lugnet.

   Even Compartmentalized Dorks [1] who only subscribe to a particular NG on LUGNET can be clueless as to what is going on on LUGNET.

Or just generally clueless...
