I may have missed the point completely, but I thought John was making
a parody from "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does
it make a sound...". In other words, if this list is so bad that we
need a BOQ list, who will notice your announcement here?
What confirmed my suspicions as to John's intent was the paradox he
created by posing the question in response to your announcement!
He's the double joke. John also demonstrates the need for BOQ by
following up an on-topic post with (arguably off-topic) humour.
Either John is very clever or I missed the point completely. Or is it
that John is very clever *and* I missed the point completely?
Regards.
