Indeed.  And luckily it wasn't Brian Peppers (internet meme) or Brian
Peppers (meme), both of which were created last evening, and at least
one of which was deleted several times in a few minutes, along with a
nonsense biography of some guy's girlfriend, with pictures (deleted
six times) and various other foolishness.  I wonder if the millionth
counter was perhaps fudged *ever so slightly*, since I saw a mass of
dross on newpages and very few decent articles!
