[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] You know, this thread was as good as dead. I killed it. Game over. [/QUOTE] I think we need to check it for doll eyes or at least a gag response. Absent a professional ruling on this, I maintain that the thread was a vegetative state, but was surviving on life support. šŸ˜‰ SSG Schwartz ---

[QUOTE=aerodave] I used to do that. In fact, a long time back, someone posted some boards stats that they created from analyzing the database records. They put up a list ranking people by percentage of their posts which were the last posts in threads. [/QUOTE] There was [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=259417) from 2004 with such a piece of numbercrunching. I came 7th as the most effective non-mod threadkiller. ---

Very well thanks, since you ask. šŸ˜‰ Looking back over the last 6 months, Iā€™ve only killed about 1 in 10 of the GQ threads Iā€™ve posted in, as compared to about 1 in 4 back in 2004, so it looks as if my powers are waning. ---
