Cynical?  No, not really.  Stupid?  Probably.

If only I could get SOMEBODY to pay me ten measely cents a word for my
rants...

Alas this is not to be.  So the alternative is to see if I can extort
ten cents from everybody on the list NOT to write 20K rants like this.
Sort of like National Lampoon's famous "Buy this magazine or we'll shoot
this dog" issue...:-)
