One score and twelve days ago, our posters brought forth upon this Internet a new notion, conceived in libertinism, that all scams are created equal, yet some are funnier, and way cheaper.
Now we are engaged in a great civil action, testing whether that notion, or any notion so conceived, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We should dedicate a portion of it as a posting place for the resumé of the ... um, executive who will suffer the loss of her job that that notion might suffer discomfort. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave posters, who while typing on the threads, have chuckled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The jury will likely note, and possibly remember, what we say here. It is for us the not-yet-served, therefore, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which They Who Have Been Served have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that we hereby resolve that these Sued shall not have been defended in vain - that these threads, under Bob, shall have a new mirth in freedom - and that chuckling of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the site.
