I'm not sure that's true - certain comments negate the need for others. For example, if I eventually get around to mentioning my mother's maiden name, the probability of the question "What is your mother's maiden name?" decreases.



Have you ever actually taken part of an online discussion?


Are you just being cynical, or are you intentionally negating my "theorem" by asking a question that is implicitly answered by the fact that you were able to ask it? If the latter...ha.


Interesting that you brought that up. What IS your mother's maiden name? (Also, I need the name of your first pet, and your high school mascot, if you don't mind.)


Stick around long enough and you're likely to find out. ;)
