None of my post are kopyleft.

In fact, they're QuapyCenter. Don't even read them. Even this one.

too late.  I've already printed it out, crumpled it into a ball, and now the cats are fighting over it.

You're Sued!

[LMNO]

You're Suu'd!

Thoughts:

1.  Again, good first post.

2.  BIP, to me, is funny.  But it's more of the "are you laughing, or screaming?" kind of funny.

3.  Often, I look at the BIP pamphlet as if we're throwing Starbuck's Pebbles at your skull.

4.  The best way to see the things you want is to write it yourself.  go to the BIP wiki, and have at it.

I didn't think we read posts after 50 anyway.

Erm, I went to the BIP wiki while I was reading the pamphlet to correct a couple of typos I noticed, and I needed to log in to edit. And I couldn't create an account. So I didn't.
How does one get an account?

LMNO and RWHN are the SysOps, they can make you one.

There is no point (in my eyes) of making a "glorious" first post as this topic covered some of my opinions anyways, so thought I would jump in here.

I first stumbled across the works here PD and the BIP after first actually "stumbling" with the little mozilla browser extension CALLED "stumble", (for those who do not know, it brings you a random website within your interests), and I first stumbled onto the wiki for POSTERGASM. It was the best idea I had seen in awhile, and something I was looking forward to joining, it looked to much fun to pass up. With a bit of research I found the forums here, felt left out and so had to go read the PD, then the BIP. Now the opinion part...

I read MOST of the PD, and then SORRY TO SAY, had to start skimming. It really only held my interest to a certain point. That's not saying I won't go back and read it later, but it wasn't an all in one sitting thing. It did make me laugh and grin heartily throughout though, in a confused manner.(which I think was the point anyways.)
It is a lighthearted, and fun book...but like has been brought up was written awhile back (supposedly as far as most know) and it's great for what it is.

The BIP, which I read after that...was GREAT. It was one THE best thing I have read in ages. It agreed with most of my self thought out philosophies and ramblings that the rest of the "masses" never understood. It made me glad to see others think this way, and it opened more ideas up to me than ever before. Granted, it was more serious, but I liked it better like that because I for one take EVERYTHING lighthearted...so it still made me laugh for the most part, but unlike PD it balanced that out with real, good information and analogies. I DID read this in one sitting, and would print it off for others.

I think they are both essential for either type of person that stumbles upon the site, and that might be strategically why you guys have put them both on the main site?

Either way, I have had friends who just DON'T GET the PD, but are really into the BIP.
I like them both, but if we are speaking to the main masses, and trying to tell them something...I just don't think most get the PD when they first read it UNLESS they already have our attitudes. The BIP however is great, but like previously said...could use a bit rearranging.

[Epimetheus]

I'm not entirely comfortable with the fact that BIP does what it does without making me smile and without actually confusing me.

To each his own, but when I read it (and similar things) it makes me smile; it makes me happy to know that there are people who write these things and that there are actually independent & creative people left on this desperate world.

The BIP is already on its second revision.  I think energies would be best suited put into a new publication, as it was always our intention that the BIP be just one of several publications.  One such idea was/is Lollercaust.  Sort of a more humorous BIP, but hopefully not as 50s-corny as the PD. 

[Triple Zero]

well i'd say if someone wants to rearrange the BIP pamphlet, go ahead, do it, put it out there. why the hell not.

OTOH Lollercaust has been brewing for years now, and is slowly getting nowhere .. i'd love to see it happen
