Just like Carter confessed to doing for the X-files the writers of LOST undoubtedly mine forums just like this one for ideas. I kid you not. Look it up. It isn't that they have any particular insight into these things and trying to "tell us something", rather they are using it as source material and idea generation. They are riffing off the stuff. Don't put the cart before the horse. Same goes for the whole star-gate business. Writers for these shows dig through both ancient and modern day mythology for ideas. It then gets fedback into the forums or "fringe community" as "confirmation" by folks who don't understand how that business works. More noise in the system.
