To the readers of alt.slack, and subgeniuses of the world:
All you have said about me is true. I am a fraud. I have never been
able to think of anything interesting or intelligent, even funny, on my
own. All I have ever been able to do is try to copy other people's
ideas. I copy people I want to be like, hoping it will make me more
like them. But all I can ever be is a bad copy of better and more
interesting people than I am. I have tried to copy the church of the
Subgenius because it was so much like the ideas I wish I could think of
myself, and never could. I envy you your ability to create and invent.
I envy your ability to capture people's interest. All my life I have
wanted to be funny and interesting but I have never been anything but
obnoxious and stupid.
I apologize to you. I apologize especially to Ivan Stang. I have been
a fool. I quit. I will never bother you again. I hope you will
remember that I only wanted to be like you. And I failed.

I just scanned last month's posts and found what you were talking about.
Uhhhhh, that @#$%^&* does not speak for me, or to my knowledge, anybody
else.
