"A man didn't understand how televisions work, and was convinced that there must be lots of little men inside the box. manipulating images at high speed. An engineer explained to him about high frequency modulations of the electromagnetic spectrum, about transmitters and receivers, about amplifiers and cathode ray tubes, about scan lines moving across and down a phosphorescent screen. The man listened to the engineer with careful attention, nodding his head at every step of the argument. At the end he pronounced himself satisfied. He really did now understand how televisions work. "But I expect there are just a few little men in there, aren't there?"

"What luck for rulers that men do not think." -- Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945)

Of course they are locked. WE have automatic robot posters that create and fills threads like with all kinds of retarded scenarios. If the truth gets out, nobody will ever notice.
