I don't know if anyone else subscribes or downloads the Bintel Newsletter.

There is an interesting "letter to the editor" in the most recent issue.

I wonder what the guy who wrote it is on?

Cheers!

I usually read it online at the beginning of the month, the highlight is the Mick & Don cartoon at the end .
To be honest I didn't notice that letter but on reading it now I can't help but think it was written tongue firmly in cheek On face value the letter writer would have to be pretty stupid to jump to those conclusions which as he said was based only on reading the title only not having read the actual article in its entirety

I don't know what he is on but if the general populous was to take this approach God help us. We will need it. I do have some conserns with, as he calls them," sandle wearing tree huggers" but with a hugely overpopulated world some changes need to be made to keep the globe sustainable for years to come.
A VP of a corporation? The president of the company wants to think hard. His comments were made without reading the article.
Lets hope he was only having a play on words and wasn't serious.

Reading his last 3 paragraphs leaves me in no doubt.

It's tongue in cheek.

I loved it.
That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time.

unfortunately, many a truth has been uttered in jest !!!
(but lets not go there! )
... nevertheless, great stuff Scott.

Yeah, I think it's sarcasm and tongue in cheek all the way.

I am pretty certain it was meant as a tongue in cheek kind of thing...

But, you can't always be sure...
