The joke is an old one, and was actually funny for a few months.  But now it's just old.  That
said, I find your call for the removal of the post to be more offensive than the worn out old
joke itself.  You may consider it to be in poor taste.  But those are poor grounds for calling
for the suppression of someone else's post.

When in the history of the Internet did people lose the ability to simply deflect their eyes
down the page to skip over posts they don't happen to like, and start calling for editorial
suppression and personal kill files instead?

Killfiles, the early 1980s? (Some newsreaders had acquired killfiles by 
the mid-80s, I know that.)
