That "immense interest" does not in any way mean that there is actual 
verifiable information, nor does it keep us from having a steady stream 
of Oh So Very Funny Young Men editing these little gems of nonsense into 
still further useless nonsense that good people then have to clean up.

However, I am very sorry to report that I agree with David Gerard, who I 
think was not being critical of anyone at all, when he said that 
spending a lot of time in school deletion wars is probably not a good 
use of any intelligent person's time.  I am very sorry to say it, but 
there it is. :)
