Why do you think it stopped there?

What would you change about the new SFN?
They're always called out on this site and almost always ignored, I doubt your suggestion would make a difference but its fun watching them dig deeper.

Sometimes karma's a bitch; not me before you ask.

What's the big deal? Why do you have to be right so badly? I don't think any of the posters, in this thread, looks around them constantly wondering if what they perceive is real. it's real enough.
