    	Mass Delusion is just that. Witness the 69/8 debacle.
    
During this discussion I've seen references to the "69/8 debacle".
Can anybody explain what the debacle is/was? Is this a magic phrase
for real insiders? Is is something that happened only on a local
net? If not, why don't you explain to the rest of the world? What
IS the argument hinted to with mentioning the "69/8 debacle".
