I’ll say this about **Elendil’s Heir** , it really takes a “special” type of member to kill such a [popular thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=401189). His skills at creating absurd gaps in communication are unrivaled. ---

The slanders that **Bigbabysweets2000** is plotting to recreate the great [1919 Molasses Flood](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood) are completely exaggerated. Though he has been heard to say he misses the way that the streets of Boston used to stink back in the fifties and sixties during high summer. ---

You can say what you like about \*\*OtakuLoki’\*\*s spelling and grammar, but his/her posts have always been mercifully brief. I’ve wasted much less time reading them than those of other dopers I could name. ---

Even after nearly 15,000 posts \*\*Little Nemo \*\* can still, occasionally, find something nearly new and almost interesting to say. ---

**Rich Mann** ’s posts tap a rich vein of something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike sarcasm. ---
