That's a great theory and not a bad piece of memetic engineering in
its own right. But I suspect the truth is more mundane: that the others,
like myself, got busy with end-of-year/pagan ritual stuff, missed a

catch up due to the traffic and the fact that posters aren't being
very careful with keeping the subject lines in sync with the discussion
topics (hint, hint).
