    Am I the only one to notice a trend going on here on After Hours. Your listening to the radio, the DJ has a good topic going thats getting a great response from the listeners. A few hours later you visit AH and the exact same topic has been created by someone and is now the most popular thread on Boards! I have found this especially common with people using Fergal D'Arcy's "big three" questions of the day. I suppose it could be worse, we could be getting our inspiration for topics from the Joe Duffy show!

    After extensive research, I can only conclude that people hear topics on the radio and then post them on boards.

    Or researchers for radio shows read one of the biggest bulletin boards in the country.

    Or that the process is a concurrent one because the topics are, well, topical.

    Amazing stuff.

    I'll be publishing these insights shortly.
