Which part of the silence are they claiming you nicked? John Cage's representatives claim copyright infringement on the composer's silent piece, 4'33. Alledged infringer rolls over laughing.

If this thread is deleted, will the resulting silence be a copyright violation?

More importantly, will a double post about nothing still equal nothing?

Are Buddhists making illegal reproductions of a copyrighted work when they clear their mind of all thoughts?

do people not search before they post anymore?

[trite bullshit] People have never searched before making a post. It's all part of the average MetaFilter member's evil scheme to drag this place, kicking and screaming, ever closer into Fark.com territory. What the hell is MeFi coming to? I long for the good ol' days where it was just mathowie and I and ten other posters, when things really mattered and it wasn't all news posts. I'm so tired of the Israel v. Palestine threads. Pancakes! No, ice cream! No, ponies! All your zippity-FARK! are belong to us!![/trite bullshit]

I do search, but I didn't this time. My bad. On the other hand, this thread is alive and kickin'. So I don't know what the fuss is all about. It's not like the first post doesn't explicitly say this is a duplicate post.

And Dick was polite, foreign, and was PC correct.

Well, does it count if the thread is alive and kicking with the sounds of people bitching about the existence of the thread and the thread's inevitable death?

Because, if so, I've got this great "onion" site I just found. And if you think THAT's a silly name, wait'll I tell you about this insane-o-pants new yahoo-type site: "Googol." Can you believe that? It's like, a NUMber! Waaaah! Hoo ha!
