[extropy-chat] EP/memetics story in the Register

[Samantha Atkins]

It is a ridiculously rude title.  But that doesn't justify  
censorship.  People can read or not read and heap scorn on the writer  
if they are offended.   Why is more needed than that?

But I don't find the guy funny really, mainly stupid on the purported  
subject.  Typical tempest in a tea pot on all sides.
