BINGO! It's a parody of stupid creationist arguments written by an evolutionist.

And if you've ever read talk.origins you would know that the parody arguments are based on the arguments of real posters there. The "Dead gaggle of GRUNTS" line was satirizing a loon named "karl" (who used some distorted images of woodpecker anatomy to "prove" creationism somehow) and the line about Splifford was parodying a proponent of Catastrophism named Ted.

I read talk.origins quite a bit but haven't in the last year or so. I'm familiar with Ted, though.

Just interesting that someone seemed to have been fished in. Though, if the explanatory material had been removed, and the e-mails presented here as an article, I'm fairly convinced you would have fished in some creationists who would have agreed with it.
