As SysAdmin at work, today I sent out the following email to all the staff...

"Until further notice, all requests for support from the IT department must be submitted in triplicate, using the form found in \dev\null [note: This was a hyperlink, although it didn't actually point anywhere real].

Thankyou for your time."

So far two people have fallen for it, including my mother, who really should know better...

Ah. How terribly deep and profound. Well, okay, not really.

I don't suppose you feel like ending the fun and games by coming out from behind the shield of anonymity? I mean, you're sounding suspiciously trollish, and if that's the case, cool, I have spare time- I can play silly word games if you like.

If, on the other hand, you actually have a serious point to make, you're undermining your point by not using an identifiable name.

Are not some of the finest quotes and poetry from history attributed to Anon? To argue that I weaken my point through anonymity is absurd.

Ooh, this is more interesting. One question would be though: Are these quotes remembered attributed to Anon because they are more powerful for not knowing their source, or simply because people gradually forgot who first said them?
