<p>isnt herd and groupthink

<p>No I don’t think so. It was about the fact that they had a negative connotation and wasn’t generally liked.</p>

<p>Wow. Such a comprehensive list. We got almost all the same answers :D</p>

<p>Your answers look good! Very similar to mine.</p>

<p>Just that… I put unknown quantity for the politics one!! ARGGGGGG</p>

<p>Does anyone know where to find the thread about the WR section of March 2008 USA and October 2010 International?</p>
