A simple thumbs up does not count as a reply. So eschereal is the last poster. ---

Is there a subsection of this phenomenon where youā€™re the last poster of a thread before it gets locks (and not because of you)? Because I got one of those, too. Also since the last time, Iā€™ve killed two more, Iā€™m pretty sure. ---

I suppose that does not strictly qualify as ā€œposts, comment, reflection, musings or reminiscenceā€. I have no idea what point that even makes. Although I have often thought moderators are like large and fluffy cats entering rooms. ---

Shutting these guys up works about as well as it did with the moderating cat. But youā€™re going to be here a long time (with the rest of these pussies). Of course I am referring to their inspiring drive and determination. ---
