The title pretty much asks the question. Does anyone here know if what I just asked has happened, if so, then when, and more important, why.

DISCUSS ! (Feeling Pengy like this morning, sorry Peng...)

I can think of a couple, but none very recently. Let's make a few! :D

Here is a perfect https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=3572048&postcount=49" that started on MacRumors Forum :redface: and the next day, boom, it hit the national news...

I posted about it in another thread. It is a beauty too, the story that is.

That's not exactly a story for which I'd want PF to receive notoriety.

I agree Astro, this is an example of how quickly "gossip" news can travel. Greg said he had a few examples, hopefully uplifting ones. Perhaps my story will serve as a warning to young people not to post potentially embarrassing things that could affect them in a negative way in the future.
