No, you can read it exactly as it is written.

If you would like to see an even more direct example, check out 16819.txt, which
was posted on April 11th (his very first post here), and is available for
download in the archives.  In that one he refers to "crappy over priced DOS
based programs".

If you want another one, try 19528.txt, posted May 30, in which he refers to
"his crappy DOS Rebel 9 program".

I really hope you meant this as a joke.
