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
