If you're asking if I see this as some sort of contest between me and Sam, then no. I used the potato chip debate as an example precicely because it *did* happen to show up the same day I started the Mars thread, and it *did* capture the imagination and arous the passions of the readers way more than my thread did. Not that I think Sam is better than me because of that. Sam is a dork. I hate Sam. HE BEAT ME AGAIN!

Ah... Ahem.
