See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics. The person who wrote it gave it that name. There has been one question about this since it went up, to change the title of a site based on that is a bit rushed. I agree the name isn't clear. That wasn't the intend of my post. What I find nice is that someone was nice enough to inform us about a possible problem with our servers. Unfortunately the person left the channel before I could respond (hours++ later).

I know it's square to nitpick at these presumed in-jokes, but community pages are probably better not featuring them prominently like that. - Chris It isn’t actually at all clear why the page has that title.
