Actually, a site like this where everyone is happy to be told only
what they want to hear has a hard core of self-important people
telling each other the same old nonsense over and over. Then, because
the information is so poor and dangerous that in the end they are
killing themselves off and someone has to go out and recruit more
people who only want to hear what they want to hear.
And what do you know, here is steve looking for more victims of self-
delusion to prop up the falling numbers.
