I have top say that my suspicious nature has me leaning toward djork's conclusion. The tone of the initial post (with its excessive number of eye-roll emoticons, the "omfg, I found this picture..." bit, followed by a winky guy), the fact that he chose the preview of the first image that comes up on a google image search, the ridiculously overdone response to TakaM.'s post (again, note the emoticon abuse and the fact that there's no denial whatsoever; hardly common among 'serious' color reducers), and the fact that there have been no posts since leads me to believe that this is, like, a joke from one of the regulars (making a stab at reducers), a much-more-subtle-than-usual troll post, or... something.
If not, sincere apologies to pixel_pixie (but not too sincere, 'cause the whole reduction thing is self defeating and, quite frankly, just stupid). In any event, something seems a bit of here...
Maybe I'm just paranoid.
