is (was) not an April fool's joke.

One thing that does seem a little suspicious (beware), is that

among the many "cross-references" to other items, there is one

link labeled "proposed cyber czar", -- which I think

was "intended" to point to the URL

-- that has instead a bogus looking URL of

(which doesn't work...)

so, I still don't think it's an April fool's joke,

but apparently someone was not being careful enough, and by the way, IMHO

the "proofreading" should ALWAYS include checking that links work -- maybe

even checking with more than one browser (at least a couple of browsers?)

(one of them being Firefox) ...it seems that in this case, there was a slip-up.

I don't actually think there is a browser related issue here -- partly because,

just for completeness, I tried that link with two browsers (one of them Firefox),

and it was equal-opportunity "404 Not Found" with both browsers.

So I think it is just a case of a schnerbed URL

...but the article still seems interesting [to me] (YMMV).

Etymology note / Humor :-) Lol / ACK

(By the way, [HUMOR!:] that funny slang word, "schnerbed",

[past participle of the verb "to schnerb"?] [passsive voice?]

was copied from

[and hence I guess, courtesy of / "with apologies to" the writer of]

some other recent PLUG-discuss posts;

[I couldn't find that word anywhere else, even using "http://www.onelook.com/"]

[also, I may have already copied it at least once "before" this --

so, if this is a delayed ACK, make it retroactive] ).

Some of the links work OK

I pursued one of the other side-issue "tangent" links, (labeled

"swindle"), (2nd word of "one swindle at a time") with a URL of

and at least that link [URL] is OK.
