Yes absolutely, it is very basic common sense. In fact the most recent place I saw that stated was in the post you were referring to here. It was stated quite forcefully that it is simply not the case that Ianto is a favourite anywhere other than LJ. I have to admit I was floored by that comment. I didn't comment on the thread though, because I did only look at it after this post here, so it had all been a day or so before.
