I was gonna link to the Fark discussion, but the mods over there appear to have purged the story. As I recall, the people over there had the same opinion as you ... how could he produce the volume implied, therefore story is a probable hoax.

And don't mind the random off topic rambling of mine tacked on, I'm just trying to open the discussion.

To generate a further tangent: is it just me, or is the new board's quote function just a little bit unwieldly? I don't want to restart the "old Boards, new Boards discussion", but the box drawn mass of wasted white space. I took out the QUOTE block, but left the "said:" and bold and italics in. Is that a better way to highlight your thoughts, give credit where it was due, and not make the responce take up too much screen real estate?
