Karen,
This might come closer to being funny if it didn't try to come
across as a report by a real-life organization (STC). I know you
aren't the author, but I thought I'd let you know that I find it
offensive. Mateo should have made up some humorously named
organization for his satire.
By the way, it was previously posted on techwr-l a long time
ago.

PS: This is not an official STC response; I'm speaking only of
what I do and do not find to be humorous.
