Glad you liked it. Of course, I meant nothing personal, but it was just too good to pass up. 
OK, in-gang, who’s are next target?
Can it be me?

Sorry - it’s a very exclusive club. Can’t just let any riffraff in, you know.

What can I say? Great minds and members of the exclusive insider cabal think alike!
IIRC, someone here at the SDMB pointed me towards that article well over a year ago. Was that you?
Apparently David Dunning was involved with both studies. Also, I think Cervaise’s link is the one I saw before on the SDMB as well.

I believe that I sent you the link. However, I got it from someone else’s posting.

Doubtful. It was the link o’ the moment a year or two ago. I don’t recall exactly when it appeared or who brought it to our attention; more like, one day, it suddenly started appearing in everybody’s posts, as if it had sprung fully formed from Cecil’s forehead, or thigh, or duodenum, or whatever.
The article won an Ig Nobel, which is probably where it started circulating. I know that’s where I first heard of it.

So… does this contribute to my Pit thread count? I know WildfireMM** was spreading the love around in his OP, but it did seem like the thread I closed prompted this poor man’s manifesto of complaints. I don’t want to appear too eager, but I haven’t been a mod for as long as others; I have to catch up, you know.
