Heh, I was actually just on that article a couple days ago, while
investigating a theory that as an online discussion grows longer, the
probability of someone being called a troll approaches one.

"It appears you are claiming to be Mike Godwin and editing [[Godwin's
law]]. If you are Mike Godwin then it is inappropriate for you to be
editing content related to yourself. If you are not, then please cease
pretending to be Mr. Godwin." (from [[User talk:Mikegodwin]])

Welcome Mike, any ideas on my theory?  I'm probably just completely
misunderstanding something.
