Entertaining read, Greg! However, the trolls are about. SMH is the TLA that comes to my mind.

I formally apologize as you clearly copied your own version as documented.

Sorry for the mixup.

Yeah, I used the same joke as a basis for my own version. It’s just so damn good and funny. And so easy to take the plot line in a different direction.

Greg,

I just read both of our versions and they are different.

I just read my version and your version and they are indeed different. Sorry Greg, I’ve been working on my version for 4-ever.

Sorry for acting so quickly. I’ve edited this ever since I first came up with my first version and yours looks something like it – but as you have correctly said, it is, indeed, not the case.

It is a satire and as such is intended to be fun to read.

This was the original version:

This was the orinial version: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blbyol3.htm

Sincerely,

No excuses, no weaseling, no bluster, no indirection, no covering up the topic. You made a serious and false accusation that has been proven wrong with clear factual evidence. You must act like man, take your medicine and a public apology is required.

Wait I found a 2003 version – where the 7500 came into play.

You know I’m the guy who does not sleep…

You know I’ve been raving about Caslow since like 98/99… and I think he was in my first edition since I used it to help me with the Red Cross… back in like 2000/2001 or so…

The 3-letter acronym was for the job I did with one of them for the forensics job… I was at a small company in Ocee at the time…

Except that this was published by techtarget in 2001. So who’s copying who?

As clearly written in the article, it was written and published on searchnetworking.com is 2001. You can follow the link to the original piece (included above) which is still there.

I expect an apology here and on twitter for attempting to slander me. Claiming someone else’s material as your own is a low act.

I see someone found my Wiki and decided it was good enough to copy and take for their own…
