Evidently we've been Shaney'ed. Some larker runs a pile of posts through
a grammatical munger such as "Mark V. Shaney", producing garbage with
the right balance of phrases for readability, and random content.

Getting shaneyed is a sign that posts in a group are becoming jargon-
ridden, poorly arranged, rambling and overly dense. Take it in good
humour, and write better organized prose, is the best response. If
it gets beyond a joke, torch the fools.
