Actually, I thought it made perfect sense. Thus my silence was a vote of
agreement. However, the more I read and think the less I believe a Sysop
will ever exist. And thus, the point of the message is lost since we, once
again, may very likely be living in a simulation. (In a universe that
still knows the meaning of free will).
BTW: As an aside, I'd happily be living in a "real world" simulation
without any protections if it meant that individual freedoms still
existed. A perfectly friendly world is boring, endless, moronic and
virtually impossible. But we will all have to wait 10-25 years to know for
certain.
