That, plus a general fondness of explaining something with a conspiracy theory whenever possible.
What if this e-mail wasn't really sent by me?? Gasp! I'll bet it was faked by the [[tinc|cabal]] to cast doubt on the existance of the cabal (which does not exist). Or maybe Brion faked it because he likes to do things like insert pornographic images into the database under other people's usernames or spoof e-mails to the MLs in his free time? Or maybe it was generated by Micro$oft with some sort of subliminal adbuymicrosoftproductsvertising? ...or perhaps it was written by the CIA or Mossad or the MI5 in a covert operation to infiltrate Wikipedia-l?? Oh no! What if they implanted a mind control device in my brain and they're making me write this e-mail... against my wishes!!
;p

What really baffles me here is how relatively petty incidents can cause people to write lengthy editorial articles, philosophizing about "key shifts in society" in general and alleged conspiracies at Wikipedia in particular (while the actual explanation is much more mundane). The only reason I can think of seems to be superabundance of time combined with a total lack of more fulfilling occupation in life.

Look at the bottom of the image page. There is your file history.
