OK, why did the author do all this nonsense?
Assuming the last sentence suppose to be funny -
why would any public want to have this in his / her /its domain anyway ?

Probably just a joke. You can check copyrights at Search Records | U.S. Copyright Office[^]. The text indicates to me at least that the author is just having fun (I've been guilty of something similar in the past).

There's another idiot tax.
You own the copyright on something the moment you write it; you don't have to pay a government for it.

It could either be a joke, or the author actually means it. Either ways, I don't see any nonsense in it. It's their work, and they decide how they license it.

Does anyone have advice or specific instructions for how to leave the group. Currently my profile is set up as a group and I did that for a long forgotten reason. Anyone know if I can revert back to just being a contributor?
I'm specifically referring to my icon/image/gif at the end of this post that when you hover over says group and has two heads. How do I revert that back to just one because I'm not a group.
Thanks In Advance!!!

In the upper right corner you can see your name as a dropdown menu.
The first item in the menu is "My Settings". Click it.
On this page you'll see several tabs, make sure "Account" is active.
On the eightth row you'll see the item "Account type", I'd assume changing this dropdown to "Standard Member Account" is what you're looking for.

Thank you. I did the inverse since I found the settings were already as you described. I actually set myself to be a group [then saved] and then I set myself back to a single account [then saved] and the problem appears to be fixed. I'm not sure whether it was Chris or I that fixed it since he's the little troll working around the clock to keep everything working.

But they promised me the medication would fix all of that.

So, essentially, you're saying that the answer is 42.

Bobby is dead. I killed him and his friend Bobbi just to make sure I got everyone.

Impossible. It's already been proved that I do. But since denial is the first sign of a problem... I don't hear voices at all and I haven't been two people since the fight in the kitchen with the paring knife where I killed Bobby he was always, "trying to be heard" and it got old so I stuck a knife in him. For some reason it hurt like hell and I needed stitches afterward but that's how I know it was a knife fight. I'm glad I survived.

Maybe it my age showing, but how did the definition of 'Senior .Net Developer' somehow become expanded to include .ASP.Net, jQuery, angular.js, knockout.js, Web services, and other spider abode droppings?
I am currently in the market, and see a lot of positions that are looking for .Net developers: "Hurrah, says I, just what I am looking for" - only to see the first requirements include ASP.Net, some form of framework, and mobile development. Now, mind you , I have no real grievance against ASP.Net itself, been doing it for over 15 years, mixed in with 'real' winforms and backend development but all these 'flavor of the week' javascript frameworks are a pain.

Pretty much. In a similar situation. They might as well just advertise as "Developer" because every job (even Junior and Mid-level ones I've seen) requires both full .NET and web stack knowledge. The most amusing part to me is most of those positions won't require even half of what they request. And they'll want you to learn the newest xxxxJS library in a couple months anyways 
Unfortunately many of these positions are posted from HR who have zero idea what any of this means so if anyone they talk to about the position even mentions "xxxx or yyyy would be a plus" in passing it'll be put as an absolute requirement on the ad.
Of course this is just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Yeah. I swear that someone just checks boxes on an HR form, and it is too much trouble to read the elephanting things, so they check them all....

In a twisted way this makes sense. HR's job is to hire people. The technical/project manager's job is to get results. When you need to hire someone the two have to meet. The manager views this as an obstruction - something to be rid of as soon as possible. HR views this as a review of requirements. The manager mentions what they'd like in a candidate in order to optimally meet requirements now and in the future. HR sees this as a strict requirement for the position. The manager is speaking in relative (optimal candidate) terms while HR wants baseline terms for hire. While the manager would gladly accept someone that doesn't strictly meet what they'd optimally like in a candidate, HR doesn't understand this and explicitly searches for a candidate that meets all mentioned requirements.
In the end, if you manage to make it to anyone technically inclined you'll probably get the job. The real hurdle is not getting your application canned by HR whose sole job is to filter candidates based on their presumed requirements.
