Ask Internet Expert Dave Barry

Posted by Roblimo on from the be-glad-you-aren't-a-defenseless-toilet dept.

This is a man who obviously knows a lot about the Internet. I am not making this up. He wrote a book about it. He has his own blog, his own Web site, and his own online alt.fan newsgroup with its own FAQ. Not only that, he is in a band and writes a syndicated humor column that often covers matters of interest to Slashdot readers. What are you going to ask him? Up to you, as long as you hold it down to one question per post. We'll send Dave 10 of the highest-moderated questions and post his answers as soon as we get them back, after which we're sure many alert readers will have much to add even if they haven't heard about Bennett Haselton's excellent automated Dave Barry column generator.

    The FAQ says his works are not public domain... but looking at his review of LoTR2 (the link in the story to what slashdot readers like)... who would want to use that in any way or form?!

    Do you get upset when people call you a "humorest"? After all, the only thing humorous about your columns is the hairpiece you're wearing in the picture.
