Pardon me - I was not very clear.
The point I failed at making in my previous message was that Password Plus and Super Password, although considered two shows, are so similar in format that SP could be considered a "different era" of P+.
Thus, by the definition outlined by the Moderators, and by clemon, programming a network that was nothing but Dawson Feud 24/7 would be the same level of "diversity" as programming a network that was included only Dawson Feud, Combs Feud, and Karn Feud 24/7. I disagree.

No, you were perfectly clear. My point is that no one is arguing with you that adding Combs Feud adds some diversity -- not a lot, but some. Where you were wrong is in
this post, in which you argued that adding a second episode of Super Password contributed to diversity:
Diversity means greater variety. Though SP is already on the schedule, adding a second airing of a show that ran 6 years in 5-a-week daytime is greater in diversity than a show that aired ~350 hour long episodes in primetime. As it is Millionaire already runs multiple times at night, not to mention that its first-runs were over a decade more recent than SP's first-runs.
Now...
Moderators: While I appreciate the time, effort, and money it takes for you all to run this forum, please let me know if I am uninvited. It was mentioned nowhere in the "Eligibility Requirements" that I must "look good" (referencing Mr. Zinkin's comment that my thoughts make me "look even worse"). I do not appreciate the rudeness which comes from a power trip (e.g.,"You're still wrong, plain and simple."). Feel free to "Ban" me if you wish.
Calm down. All I was doing was pointing out that when you make two impassioned arguments in favor of your position, and someone else concedes the second argument but blows the first one out of the water, it looks, well, odd for you to keep arguing in defense of the second one without either admitting that the first was wrong or citing some evidence to back it up. No more, no less.
No, you are not uninvited, and no, we do not require that you "look good." But in most discussion forums, people usually prefer to be taken seriously. That doesn't happen when someone's told you that you're right about something (as you were about Combs Feud) and you keep defending it anyway.

Fair enough: thank you for the response.
I, for one, will be enjoying Combs Feud on Monday.
(ObDiversity): I will also be watching Business School students diversify their portfolios Wednesday on CNBC's Fast Money MBA Challenge.
