I'm not sure if this is a retaliatory effort for the deletion of some meme or not, but there is a deletion debate on both Lumber Cartel and There Is No Cabal, based on the assertion that the cited sources for these Usenet phenomena, being themselves on Usenet, are not reliable. We have some references from Eric Raymond which to my mind amount to reliable sources, but it's an interesting point.
