35. Yup. this is ONE of the ways you can trace origins of many things, poster history, etc.
I used to keep that more hush hush, but it is so simple, what the heck.
There are other ways, best left unsaid.


By acting with integrity and teaching / reaching out, we can minimize the damage.
Sometimes, indeed most of the time, people spread viral memes without knowing they are doing so.
This follows standard epidemic growth patterns, with carriers unaware of their role, and the remedies are the same,as far as I can discern:
i.e. education and inoculation (show people how it works, with examples).

The recent "fauxtrage" about the "radical Palestinian" Yeshua bin Yusef is a classic example.
There are, of course, plenty of case studies right here.
