There is nothing wrong with a humorous posting once in a while. The problem is not with Kelvin's sense of humor or even his idea of a good time. The problem is that a lot of people (including me) were fooled by his "1984" and "Partner" reviews and posted long articles attacking him (not me). Now everybody has to come out of the woodwork and declare that they truly know that Kelvin's reviews are all posted in jest. Don't ban/chastise/ignore Kelvin. Instead, stop posting articles telling the world that you know what he is up to, and start ignoring such articles posted by others. H. Reza Taheri ...!ihnp4!ihuxb!reza (312)-979-7473
