This isn't a conspiracy, it's tinfoil hattery. I'll believe the conpsiracy
theories when I see a conspirator.
I make no claims about conspiracy. The purpose of creating a userbox
is to permit users of a certain type (originally, with certain useful
skills) to be quickly identified. The purpose of creating a political
or religious userbox is to enable users with common beliefs to be
identified quickly. Of the userboxes listed on the beiefs page, over
90% were created since December 1, and a substantial number of those
were created within the past couple of weeks, so it's definitely a
push.
