Yes, I visited that page earlier in an entirely different context.
It was related to something mentioned in Brussels, when I was at
the conference about software patents.

Reductio ad absurdum is the wrong term here, even if his extensions
to my idea had been convincing, which they were not.

Do you really think adding a paragraph 6: "The user of this software
agrees to live on a vegan diet as defined by peta.org" would stress
my luck?
