Introducing the “Dave Royer Internet Rule”

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
