Did VM Labs ever live up to the hype?

Good question, but what we're all wondering is, Will Ralph Nader ever live up to the hype?

EngineBeak, is commenting on every thread with Nader junk still funny to you?

It stopped being funny to me quite a while ago.

-- No, it was funny of a sudden. It may have been lame but wasn't malicious. I'll stop and claim to be misunderstood. Besides, whatever happened to "meta as we wanna be"? Huh? An' did ya click on "live up" and "hype"? This isn't humdrum Nader junk!

Now, re NUON-- how accurate is two-year-old hype gonna be? Surely there are studies on the (in)accuracy of futuristic forecasts in various arenas of discussion. But they go unreported... I wonder what percentage of these do pan out anywhere near fully.
