Conspiracy theorists are atwitter with the news that Dave Winer will be stepping away from the blogosphere in a mere matter of months. Some groups claim that Dave wants to live out the REST of his days making SOAP in Montana, while others feel that Dave (himself) is an alien and will soon be flying back to his home planet, Skroob.

Thousands of online hate groups have issued letters of resignation, finding their purpose to exist “completely nullified” by Dave’s decision. And what will happen with Scripting.com? It will become a live outline of Winer’s impending screenplay, some say. Close friends organized an intervention, but none of them could tear themselves away from their respective news aggregators in time to actually confront Dave.

Other Winer conspiracies include (but are not necessarily limited to) Dave: being pregnant and full-term not long after his retirement begins; wanting to shave his beard without causing other bloggers to grow theirs out of spite; hoping to become the world’s first software developer to enter [and win] the Iditarod.
