linkto:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baader-Meinhof_phenomenon in Google shows
that it hits Reddit and apparently 4chan a bit. Apparently StumbleUpon
likes it too. This would account for the hit rates - it's an amusing
thing people would like there to be a name for, c.f. "The Meaning Of
Liff" - but still doesn't supply us with sufficient material to base a
solid article on.
