dougJust got a note from the Council about rubbish and recycling, complete with the wonderful instruction:
Please retain this leaflet as it contains IMPORTANT information.
I wonder if someone at the Council really wanted to write:
UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this IMPORTANT information is ENCOURAGED
For those of you who weren't Usenet regulars in the early/mid 1990s, this was the sig of Robert E. McElwaine, an INFAMOUS and NOTABLE net.kook who expanded his individual REPEATED POSTINGS with IDIOSYNCRATIC CAPITALISATION from an initial OVER-WIDE SAMPLE of science newsgroups to pretty much ANY GROUP with traffic AND OTHERS besides.
