In a companion post sevastopol asks if there is orchestrated trolling on the SDMB. This may be the case. On the other hand depending on the topic it may merely be coincidence. Not infrequently independent inventions are conceived almost simultaneously in different countries and/or parts of the world, due to need, availability of new technologies, and similar factors. Similarly the same or connected topics may be posted independantly because of the news, poster’s interest, etc.
It is easy to suggest orchestration of posts, another thing to prove it.

I don’t see how this is a significantly different debate (if there is a debate in there) from the other “orchestrated trolling” thread, so I am closing it.
