'Fess up, Don.

What are the details of the devious plot to fame, fortune and world domination behind those links to "Other News"?

Why are there no pop-ups or advertisements on the Mobile page?

Where is the secret link you use to randomly insert misspellings into reader comments?

What are those gardeners planting and cultivating at LXer that they get a special thanks? (I've seen the brutality of Bonsai and the ruthlessness of a rose gardener in whacking off blossoms when they get beyond their prime; are LXers to suffer similar fates when we begin to slow down in commentary?)

Those details coming up at 6:00!

Because that page is a moving target - hard for the pop-ups to keep up with.

If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore!

Those are not just any gardeners. They are open source gardeners. They share their knowledge with others. :-)

AHA! So you openly admit to being a part of the vast conspiracy by these fringe lunatic long-haired or blue-haired smellies and compost-wielders to destroy the valuable Intellectual Property of all the great and wondrous Corporations which have the Constitutionally protected right to reap vast profits from the Great Knowledge of gardening by way of the most holy Get-Rich-Click plans which form the very foundation of the Internet as conceived by the Founding Fathers!

(Portions of the above inspired by that greatest of Constitution and IP orators, Daryl McB.).
