The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Folks,

This thread exists as a place to indirectly blow off a little steam, and maybe make some indirect commentary on forum communication.

It is not for blatantly talking about people behind their backs.

Is there a point of saturation for discussions of survey methodology? At some point will every thread be about the 70% threshold? Will EN World one day become a site entirely about the efficacy of WotC surveys?
