E-book Art-of-the-Meme Addendum Codicil

[Mentifex]

Chapter Eighteen: Usenet (in The Art of the Meme)
is hereby amended and enlarged with the following
memetic technique which has just come to light.

If you see a Usenet post with a Latin phrase
(e.g., "argumentum ad hominem") as its title,
and you happen to think and write Latin fluently,
you now have carte blanche to spread your Memes
by writing a follow-up post in ancient Latin.

http://groups.google.com/group/de.sci.philosophie/msg/263bd277e5614de0
is a Latin message posted in a German newsgroup,
in a discussion titled, "argumentum ad hominem".

http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Meme-ebook/dp/B007ZI66FS
is the technical e-book on memetics now being
updated with this additional memetic technique.

[Ed Cryer]

If we made war on argumenta ad hominem, then we'd have to attack vast
parts of the speeches of both Cicero and Demosthenes.
And as these have been the classical sine qua non for millennia, and
most of the officers who fought under the Iron Duke at Waterloo knew
parts by heart, well, as Cicero said, cui bono?
