You're quite the sleuth Mark. Four years on PB makes you certainly more of an expert than Matt and possibly even Dr. Feldman for that matter. I don't suppose you'd want to give up the name of your Munchhausen babbler for those of us wanting to research your theory. Feldman's paper does shed some light on the notion that people are studying us here, it makes my quip of PB as Bob's ant farm more unsettling to me now and may explain why he didn't seem to find the analogy amusing. I wonder if symptoms of pseudologica fantastica (I wish my diagnosis had fantastica in it) also include claims of having an incredibly rare condition and the use of habitual poor spelling to fein a neurological disorder? Anyway, this idea of people (pseudomedicus fantastica, if you will) studying us freaks me out a little. If they are diagnosing me, do they have an ethical obligation to let me know if there is a treatment that can help me? Don't put that magnifying glass away just yet Mark. I appreciate your comments immensely.
