In those satirical messages, I'm the guy who wants to take all freedom 
away from you. I want to take away your computer and your rights, 
including your right to filter e-mail. In those messages, you shouldn't 
like what I wrote or anything I said. If you agreed with any of it, 
then you've lost touch with how important freedom is.
