You cant 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. Its the only
possible explanation for his apparent ability to be everywhere.

entire world is privy to what is said in it.

The entire world doesnt 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...
