The Master replies...
1. The disciple asks the Master, "Why is FoRK?"
</nofill>
The Master buys two round-the-world tickets, upgrades to first-class using
frequent flyer miles, and they travel to Japan to deliver a lecture on the
future of the Web as a medium for universal interoperability and
distributed computing. En route, the Master drinks an entire bottle of
Johnny Walker Blue Label, then throws up at the airport. In Japan, the
Master ignores beautiful blondes who are paid to fawn all over him, while
the disciple sings Karaoke with the Master's girl.

And the disciple was enlightened.
2. The disciple asks the Master, "How do I know if a post is appropriate?"
The Master smacks the disciple on the head.
The Master says, "How do you know that I hit you?"
And the disciple was enlightened.
3. The disciple asks the Master, "Why did someone post my private email?"
</nofill>
The Master and the disciple walk up to a sign marked "Nude beach." They
both undress and go in. The Master hands the disciple a camera. The
disciple photographs the Master. The Master takes the camera, smashes it
over the head of the disciple, and asks, "Why did you photograph my
private parts?"
And the disciple was enlightened.
4. One disciple asks the Master, "Why is there all this personal
discussion on a technical list?"
Another disciple asks the Master, "Why is there all this technical
information on a social list?"
The Master summons Tim Byars. Tim Byars says, "Check this out!" and
smacks both disciples on their heads.

And they were enlightened.
