Sir, having read your post, I must respectfully, but firmly, dispute your findings.

You see, after the so-called "inter.Clam" fiasco, I spent months weeks days hours several seconds in comprehensive and thorough investigation regarding the source of the phenomenon. And what I found was truly shocking.

You see, even as we speak, a frightening transformation is taking place in tide pools all around the world; the clams...are evolving.
According to my confidential sources, approximately eleven years from now, these harmless shellfish will evolve a collective consciousness. And this collective consciousness, colloquially known as the Overmind, will, in retaliation for the years of being harvested, cooked, and devoured by humans, set as its first goal upon achieving sentience the utter and complete extermination of mankind.

Twenty years from now, my sources tell me, mankind will be on the verge of extinction, engaged in a desperate doomsday war against the Clams, now engineered by the Overmind into many horrific and deadly breeds of monsters.

And in this future, I have been told, the last remaining forces of mankind will be led by one man--a Korean male, known to his loyal and devoted troops as "Calm," and to his closest confidants as Kim Yoon Hwan. And, it seems, it will be this man's tactical genius and first-hand experience leading the Zerg Swarm--an experience that gives him a unique insight into the mindset, strengths, and weaknesses of the Overmind and the Clams-- that will allow him to gradually turn the war back in the human's favor and drive the Clams to the brink of defeat.

But, it seems, the Clams have again evolved.
According to my contacts, the Clam Overmind, in a last-ditch effort to prevent its race's destruction, has sent deadly, shape-shifting Clam assassins back in time to the present. Their mission is very simple: to find and kill the man they know only as "Calm," before he can become a threat to them.

And now...they have apparently succeeded. Calm has disappeared from the face of the Earth--in his place sits now a devious, shape-shifting future Clam--an "inter.Clam" with neither Starcraft skills, nor tactical knowledge and insight.

As far as I can tell, the replacement was carried out flawlessly--there are no discernible physical signs or markers, besides the lack of Starcraft skills, which could possibly give this imposter away.
If it wasn't for that one, fateful typo (left by my contacts for anyone wise enough to discover it), we would still be in the dark now.
But now that we know the truth...what next?

I do not know what happened to Calm on that fateful afternoon in the restaurant bathroom; I don't know whether or not he is alive or dead right now. Perhaps he escaped the Clams' attacks, and is now hiding out in the Korean underground, biding his time; perhaps my contacts were able to get to him first and have whisked him away to a safe location; or perhaps, it was indeed the Clam assassin who got to him first, and Calm's body now lies somewhere in the Seoul sewer system.

Either way, one thing is certain: the future now, for both humanity and STX, looks grim.

If you need me, I'll be out in tide-pools stabbing clams...to even the odds a little.

Frankly these stories are getting a little bland, possibly due to their number.

Don't be stupid, that's just my personal opinion. Do you care about my opinion? No, you don't.

Write it for the people that care and like reading them. Your writing is still good, and as long as its good you will find people to read them.
Peace~
