Before I blast everyone involved in this discussion with my afterburner, let
me ask a question:  Is this a joke?  Is all this being said with tongue
planted firmly in cheek?  Or are the allegations on the order of "XYZ Oil
Company bought the rights to a carburetor that will get 200 mpg and is sitting
on it to keep up their profits" meant seriously?  I don't recall seeing any
smiley faces.

Smiley faces are needed in cases of ambiguity.  There was no ambiguity in any
of those postings.  Anyone who intended them seriously would never know how to
log into a computer and post them.

So are the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Harcourt Fenton Mudd.
Next thing I know, you'll be telling me that the phone company has
known about ESP all along, but they're suppressing it because it
threatens their profits.

I guess you didn't see the move "The President's Analyst" or you wouldn't
joke about The Phone Company.

But "The President's Analyst" *WAS* a joke about the Phone Company!

Are there any conspiracy theories you DON'T subscribe to, Sunny?
