From Time magazine[1]:
"We know from the Internet that everything has its freaks.  There are freaks
for Legos, for presidential graves and for women who kill rodents with
stiletto heels.  But with the Internet, you always suspect that these people
are half ironic, that part of their fun is pretending to be obsessed. ..."
