So how many of you have been both the first and the only poster to a thread before it dies? I posed a question to Colibri (his name was right in the title) about something that is in his field of expertise, which he completely ignored. I don’t know if he never saw it, or has some personal animus toward me, but the thread died with no responses. Gotta be some sort of record. ---

I suppose so, but it doesn’t really matter, because THIS will obviously be the last post in this thread. ---
