Ah, yes, the noble practice of Security By Asking Nicely To Please Stop It. And the “herd of performing elephants with diarrhea” quote seems apt here, Usenet though this is not. (Especially as concerns the comments on that post; dear $DEITY why did I inflict that on myself?)

They could close that account if it's a problem. I'm actually quite sure the meme is a piece of viral marketing.

In another lifetime, I was a marketer. If so many people were visiting my site and my site was getting all that attention virtually for free, I'd be extremely pleased. Besides, I'm sure if the geeks of the site thought it was a problem, they'd have shut it down by now.

Exactly. They probably will turn it off in a week or two, or put an interstitial in after a week telling people if they want to use other services, here's how you get an account....

I think ronebofh just got told he should be a lumberjack. :)
