This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's right! Now I can put "Markdown" on my resume!

Hey you're right. But who would notice that... only a BOT! Dissenting opinion: a bot wouldn't have forgotten the second space on your second-to-last line. oh wait....
