From an email received from Larry Vickers:
Gentleman it is my pleasure to formally announce the ‘Dave Royer Internet Rule’ or ‘Royer Rule’ for short;
On any topic, in any blog or forum, on the Internet within the 5 initial posts someone with no personal direct knowledge of the subject matter will interject their unneeded 2 cents
Classic examples of this are as follows;
‘Well I have never been there but…’
‘I don’t own one but…’
‘I have never actually seen one but…’
Please spread this far and wide and feel free to interject where needed – like the famous Godwin’s Law

I’ve never seen this happen personally, but I rarely read the comments.

Well played sir. The Internets is yours
This is preposterous!
Well I have never been Larry Vickers but I like this rule…
It is about time there is a name given to this occurrence.

Well, I wasn’t there but I’m pretty sure the Nazis started it.
There you have it !!! Chance invoked the ‘Royer Rule’ and Lawrence brought in ‘Godwin’s Rule’ !!!!
We’ll done !!! All in 6 posts !!!
While I have no direct working knowledge or experience… I think Dat is funny!
Well played gentleman. Well played.
I personally HBT-HDT (haven’t been there……..), so I’ll shut up now.
I’ve never seen Larry Vickers smile, but I’m sure it happens. HAHAHA

I have not been there, and have not done that, but I do have a T-shirt, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express, either.
