(Stickied in fb2k support forum)
I guess no one has ever read the complete text, which almost exceeds the length of the bible. Is this meant as a joke?

no.

and you clearly didn't read it

Although, the people for who this text is likely to be intended are the ones most unlikely to read such an (in their eyes, long-winded) article.

I like it for clearly pointing out all the unwritten rules that forums work by, a nice insight.

"How to turn on a computer monitor - A short overview in just 327 pages ..."

An internet forum as a life task? Indeed not my opinion.

That page is available in the Internet as a HOWTO for BBS users.

I suggest you read it and look back on this thread.
