Nobody laugh. Humour is in the eye of the beholder..... So is absurdity. I personally think your whole rant by starting this thread about humour is full of unintended irony myself and pretty absurd. So you got a few posts deleted, and it inspires this long post on the nature of humour, computer chess, IQs and life? Reading your posts in reply to Graham and Burcham here's what i see.. "Preposterous seriousness prevails. Heated arguments comes. Insults are said. Flame wars begins.Nobody seems to see the esential absurdity of such endeavour. " Absurd? Over a couple of deleted posts? Surely! > I never forget this is, exception made for >some dedicated human units, a hobby. HOBBY. Do you remember the meaning of the >word? An amateur passtime. Something to get fun and sometimes perhaps an >entertainning instruction. Yes i know the meaning of the word Hobby. But pray tell, does the fact that topic x is your hobby, imply that everyone else should consider topic x the same way? Might it not be more than a hobby for others?
