Wow, I couldn't disagree more with the proctor's stance on this one. Benny's been around forever, has been involved in many jokes and discussion, and I'm fully confident that he is perfectly capable of telling the difference between that which is a joke and that which is not. Really, he just felt he would take a quote out of context with the intention of starting a flamewar. Don't play the "people can't tell the difference" card on this one. -Steve
