**T** ruthfully this thread will die like almost everyother thread out there, a sad ignoble one. Like I predicted we’ll get to W or Y and people just wont have the motivation to go and think up yet another X or Z word and it will slip off the first page for the first time. But don’t despare ye who’ve the majority of your posts in this thread. This board has many other threads that are fun to post in. **U** nconformed opinions of movies, music and TV in Cafe Society will be much appreciated. **V** Valid answers are always sought in GQ. **W** ise men and women try to reach concensus in GD. **X** anadu type madness is always lingering about in the Pit. **Y** our perfect master, Cecil, has a nice quite forum of his own. **Z** any and wacky antics are always to be found here in MPSIMS. **A** nd we never should allow ourselves to forget the comments on the staff reports. **B** e aware of IMHO, the easiest forum to give input. “What color is your toenail?” I mean who can’t give an answer for that? **C** ertain aspects of this board is what gets discussed in ATMB. Plus you should visit once a week to check on the state of affairs here. **D** ear, dear thread. You’ve come a long way baby. ---
