Now where have I heard this before?  I seem to recall that the last
two times this sentiment was uttered, the posters were in the final
stages of terminal irrationality.  Having fixated on a rather shaky
theory, they went to great lengths to disagree with every argument
presented against their point of view, claimed that only Marc Okrand
Himself could convince them they were wrong, and finally left the list
in disgrace rather than admit that they had taken a small idea well
beyond its reasonable limits.
