What I find fascinating is the whole Tritone/xpt relationship.

Tritone makes a post knowing exactly the kind of response it will elicit.

And xpters respond in exactly the way he expects.

In fact, didn't Tritone swear off this place at one point, saying he never wanted to visit here again?

Around and around it goes like there's some weird, symbiotic relationship, rigid and formalized as a kabuki dance.
