Donning the tinfoil hat for a moment, I wonder if this isn't all a puckish game cooked up by Linus and Larry to provoke people.
Amazing, that itch I get behind my left ear just before I discover a new conspiracy, kicked into overdrive just moments before reading the above quote. I'll withhold my thoughts on this for now, but you'd be correct in a different timeframe, say a few years ago. Given the outcome of recent events it gets harder and harder to put it past either one of them.
