Honestly, it seems rather made up.

Very funny stuff. The one bit that irks me is this 27bslash6 thing, when everybody knows it's 27bstroke6... Maybe that's part of the tease.

Cheers
Steffen.

Maybe that's why I didn't find it funny.

Are you sure?

From this interview: http://www.themortonreport.com/books...-david-thorne/

Are all your email exchanges real?

The email articles are verbatim although I do fix spelling errors, as is my prerogative, and bad grammar prior to posting. I also sometimes change the person's name or remove their second name, unless they have overly annoyed me, and there have been occasions when I have added context or deleted non-contexual content such as footers. The non-email based articles feature friends, associates and work colleagues and are exaggerated, but based on actual events.
