First we have the initial post, followed by the standard reactions of shock, questions, etc. And then...

There it is! Judgement, insinuation, that post has it all. Now, after the initial "That's not a fair post" posts, we progress from something being amiss with Dieter leaving to something being wrong with the ENTIRE Gopher program:



Now, next comes the obligatory, completely out of left field comment:

Haley? Is this an oblique reference to Carico? Did Haley say something about Dieter once? Are we talking about the same Haley?

Soon after we get into an informative, albeit borrrring give-and-take about the rules regarding transferring, scholarships, blah blah blah, followed by some actually cogent, rational discussion, even some Nietzsche!

But mixed in with Nietzsche, comes...this.

OK, so....don't jump to conclusions, but, hey, here's a conclusion of my own I'm going to jump to? Speaking of conclusions...

YESSSS! Criminal implications! How could we have forgotten the possibly actionable side of this story? Now, LET'S GET NUTS!

MORE NUTS! Where's Mango?!


Let the good times roll.
