With all the nonsensical things that people post (some of which ARE in earnest)
one just can't tell what is foolishness and what is satire.  Some of it can't
be very good satire, else certain people wouldn't mistake it for foolishness :-)

If all such articles were taken as `satire', many people would go on blindly
using their sometimes questionable ideas.  Where would that leave them ?

I will, in future, be on the lookout for such satirical articles :-)
