</div>

A scatalogical and profane exposition of free-floating paranoia, indicting every institution in modern civilization. Wild-eyed ranting and keyboard-banging hysteria.

Followed by a meek appeal for acceptance by fellow Dopers.

And a few tears.

And a smiley.

Newbie wonders how the poster was able to complete the post if his keyboard was ruined. Asks technical question regarding the electronic workings of a keyboard.  
Newbie sincerely apologises for high-jack.

Inevitable link to Classic Straight Dope column on relevant topic, in which Cecil Adams is referred to as “The Master” or “Unca Cece”, showing poster’s familiarity with said reclusive genius.
