SC - Capitulare de villis (Charlemagne)

[Thomas Gloning]

Bal,

Why is the burden of proof on those who do not believe the post to be a
joke?  No part of the original work had a jocular tone, the author has no
established reputation as a satirist, and the forum the author chose was not
one dedicated to satire, ASFAIK.  On what basis do you draw the conclusion
that 'The post in question was obviously a joke!!!!'?
