, gen. Kirk.

good one, merat.
The posts on Nitcentral are actually all written by one person with multiple personalities.
The posts on Nitcentral are coded messages sent by secret agents from spy agencies around the world, to each other, their bosses and their associates.
The posts on Nitcentral are to be collated into a datafile to be sent on a space probe to Omega Centauri, as a sample of human culture.
The posts on Nitcentral are coded messages sent by secret agents from spy agencies around the world, to each other, their bosses and their associates.
That one's just crazy enough to be true!
