Well, if you read the posting yesterday of the DVD rullings and such. Slashdot is refered in there as well as a "Hacker Community".
Well, look at it this way.. how much of this thread has been "logical" and calm discussion? Most of you want to hack and mailbomb people just doing what they are paid for.
I don't think we need radio and newspapers and court documents to slander/. posters./. posters are doing it to themselves.

>> Your post is more funny (as in ludicrous) than UF has ever been.
Oh? And how other than stating.. umm, KNOWN facts about the strip and it's creator.
>> A couple of weeks ago, I watched the patrons of Stacey's in Palo Alto finger through the UF book. >> Not one laugh. Not even a grin.
Ok.. and that means what? I do that with dilbert, Garfield, Calvin and hobes and a slew of other books. I still like than but because I don't laugh while reading them not make them funny? Please, explain this to us and where you got your PHd in Psychology to know how people think.
Of course I have realized something. I looked back and remebered ALL the other posts relating to UF when it wasn't as popular and maybe 1 person would say it wasn't funny.
And remeber April 1st? The "threat of shutdown" joke? Even if it was an April Fools joke, I received over 900 emails of support on my "Support page" and no one said then it was unfunny.
Now lets look, UF is becomming really popular and the creator was interviewed and that interview put ona site where millions of people will see it ina day. NOW UF is not funny, NOW people are picking it apart.. I think it is more that people can't stand something that started out such small and part time becoming so popular just by mainly word of mouth.
No sense really in any kind of bashing anymore. If you think back really hard, and look. I almost bet you that people posting the unfunny posts now are the same people that supported UF all those other times.
But feel free to continue, "Anonymous Cowards" really don't have much if they have to say something is bad and have to hide to say it.
UF has a very strong following, if you don't like it fine.. the rest of us that do don't care what you think (mainly cuz your wrong).

P.S. Pitr is not russian, he is just speaking slavic. Please, get facts right BEFORE putting your foot in your mouth.
You do realise that this is the EXACT same for Dilbert?
I have seen SSDD there. Scott Adams has said the same thing in so many different ways that I can read a month and know how the next month will generally be.
Ok, I can see that most of the posters are not UFies.
Here is some information you should know.
1) Illiad is a he and looks like anyone else
2) He isn't a computer geek, that is correct. Salon's listing of what he has done is correct. Some stuff there just isn't in the FAQ created.
3) He gets all his content from people that have emailed in, and from the regulars of Undernet's #UserFriendly.. ALL of the story lines with Greg answering the tech support phone are real calls. Seven of them are mine.
4) USerFriendly started out as a "side what the heck kind of thing" that's how it was when I started reading it in January '98. Since then it's popularity has run like wildfire. (Sorta like Dilbert when it fstarted)
5) Animated UF.. Illiad and I have mentioned to each other 2 or 3 times about that, problem is: Time
6) The book, well I don't have much to say there other than Illiad probably felt that his older stuff wasn't good enough to be published.. or maybe that the format it was in didn't work for print.
7) To the "It won't last" coward poster: You base your statement on what? Or was it just the SOP flame bait post? Even Illiad didn't think it would last / take off like this.
8) To the other that say it is unfunny. That is because the humor level of the comic is more than likely over your head.
