No... I can agree that it does become an excercise in futility at a certain point. ;] Heh heh. I do disagree on the nature of the conspiracy though: Could be the admins decided that there hadn't been a major controversy in awhile and interest was dropping off, so they created one. Controversy creates forum activity, gets people talking, and as the people likening it to a train wreck noted, train wrecks are fascinating, so it draws in crowds... and crowds eventually head to the concession stands as any good carney knows. And by damn it distracts people from picking on poor CuriousLabs. Hey - it's as plausible a conspiracy as any. ;]
