Slashdot appearances are not as big a deal as they once were - Internet 
has a much broader reach now. Several days later I see that Google News 
shows no other source troubling to take up the story. I would say that 
Slashdot readers are sufficiently savvy to recognize conspiracy 
theories, and to realize that a story about "infiltration of WP" is a 
more of a insiders' joke than anything else, like one of those "Linux is 
a Microsoft plot against Apple" stories that go by from time to time.
