That's enough cable for you. PBS for the rest of the week.
I think you're right, GoKul probably gave him too much cable. Good thing you happened along with the antidote, Tribdog.

You can't get too much cable.
Perhaps tribdog is trying to subvert the new order.

This reeks of subversion .
I do not have the skills or authority to take appropriate action.

You are very close to being a subversive like that tribdog, Artman.
I will hear no slurs against the cablemaster.
(EDIT: Nor against his cable)

Is it possible to overthrow gravity? :smile: :-p
You could with Cosmic Communism.

A Cosmic Communist could re-distribute all the energy/matter and dark energy/dark matter in the universe in an equal fashion, so they all counter-act each other, and we live in a egalitarian, gravityless society.

I believe that's classified as supraliminal...

Would there be supraliminality if gravity were replaced by cable?

Thank you, Gokul!
We all need to be exposed to your moral lessons from time to time, even if some may find them hard to swallow initially. They'll get used to it.
