How else do you explain Matt respoding so quickly to Fan4Sure?
I hate to puncture your good-natured conspiracy bubble, but for people who genuinely wonder about that, the answer is not nearly so mysterious. Since F4S is on permanent moderation, I'm always the first person to see any of his posts that get approved. And at this point, pretty much the only ones I approve are ones I want to comment on.
Our new friend roderick isn't doing any harm right now, and there is some entertainment value to his question. I don't see bullshait (yet), I see the same sort of genuine but misguided approach as an Iris or a F4S. Time will tell.
