Translated by Ray Kremer
One peaceful day at the end of the week-time, a dark wizard came to the Realm of the discussion groups. He had discovered a weekness in the Realm, that the fields of topik were vulnerable to spells of html, for the magik runes of angle brackets passed through the fields as they were without conversion into the codes of ampersand. The dark wizard took advantage of this knowledge and began to wreak havoc in the lands of the Realm, bringing forth unnatural talismans that turned the lands dark and fearsome.
In one land the dark wizard attempted a powerful spell of Javascript, but the magik was too powerful for the wizard to contain and the spell swept over the land as a great fog, and anyone who entered the land was unable to see anything. Undaunted, the wizard traveled to another land and cast spells that caused to appear great images of women of loose morals. The wizard thought this a great prank, but the peoples of the land were filled with dismay. The great sage Ray Kremer saw the evil that the wizard had done there, and to thwart the wizard he copied the spell of Javascript, and cast it with errors as the wizard had, and a great fog fell upon that land too, and it hid the images along with everything else.
Soon came the beginning of the next week-time, and from atop Mount Texas the great creator Paul King looked down and saw the evil that had been wrought, and he cast down his lightning bolt upon the thread that were infected with the spells of html, and he placed a great spell of protection upon the fields of topik so that they never again would be affected by the magik runes of angle brackets. The dark wizard, with his powers removed from him, was never heard from again.
But the fields of topik are not protected from all magik runes, for the marks of quotation are still taken wrongly by the fields when a re-ply is made upon a post.
