Why do you post such copy-and-paste horseshit; can you not be creative; are you a bot?
Maybe he is, are you robophobic?
The joke is an old one as stated, but why did that guy assume that the text was copy-paste?
Who are you to question the thought process behind DAYAGO?
Why did you think I was referring to DAYAGO?
You quoted him, isn't that a reasonable assumption to make?
But wasn't the use of "that guy" instead of "this guy" a sufficiently clear indication that the  target of the anaphora was not that guy that you thought that I was thinking of, but rather that OTHER guy that that guy had himself quoted?

Slighty off topic, but isn't an anaphora the repetition of words at the beginning of the sentences?
