I did search but rather lazily (just entered the text and logically nothing came up). But that was very sloppy, I should have searched for “Charles Babbage” and skimmed the quotes that came up.
The procedure is to delete the post and then send User:Kevin 10,000 USD, asking that it be credited toward User:Kevin’s contract with User:Clippy.

Dupe
Upvoted. I didn’t know it was already posted, I’ve read quite a few of these quote threads but never commented before or noticed that one.
What’s the protocol for this? Should I delete the post?
I think you just accept quietly your downvotes or lack of upvotes, and remember to search next time.
(Also, Clippy—nice try.)

Funnier the first time.
You should try asking people to send smaller amounts of money at once, it’s slightly more likely to work.
