[CIMC-working] questionable post

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Well, I don't think we necessarily need to mark it in any way -- that might
hint of condescension toward our readers. It's really not satire, anyway --
it's rather pompous, and virtually purports to be true.

Okay, nevermind from me -- it doesn't need hiding, it's just really
screwy....
