I hope he doesn't stop and that you folks don't stop spending hours deconstructing all his "theories" and posting your frustrated replies and demands. It's a great read. (Well, at least if you subtract all that nastiness and personal stuff from "STFU Steff") And from the number of hits his threads draw, I can tell I'm not the only one being entertained. But really, why should he even attempt to answer your queries if his credibility is zero around here? Do you demand the same rigor (and expend the same effort) on the endless stream of threads started with topics like "Wife's Severed Head Flies From Truck When Man Crashes: Police Found Wife's Headless Body At Home"? Please understand, Jim. I'm not trying to "call you out" as you put it in an earlier post. You just seem like a good surrogate for the serious questioners. When I say "you" I really mean everyone who keeps trying to get things to line up in a way that doesn't offend their sense of the logical. There's the other contingent that seems to have history with Hanger, and still others who always come around when they hear the big dogs start barking. So what else is new in the realm of internet forums?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) How do all of the newbies automatically filter into this thread lately? Hello back atcha! I think the obvious reply to your question is that the outsize response by certain of your old-timers made this an absolute magnet - for newbies and lurkers alike. If no one got all bent out of shape and made a big deal about it, who would be viewing this thread? How many members do you have on this site? And how many of them have actually taken up arms against the big bad villain Hanger? Six? Ten? As Hawk says, "it's all self-induced."

Even if/when this current thread died down, two weeks from now it'd be the same issue. You guys are more than astute enough to realize that..... But won't you admit that there's a difference between "commenting on" someone's posts, and obsession with someone's posts? Let's say your main point is to show that Hanger's methods and materials are, shall we say, suspect. Okay you did that hundreds (well, lots, anyway) of posts ago. Who cares after that? Do you follow everyone who starts a thread around and fact check? I don't have any horse in this race, but since the now closed thread was pointed out to me by a friend, Hanger's Media Watch and the handful of people who have been stalking him have provided me with many an entertaining moment. So thanks for that.
