> [@harmless](#): > > Great Googly Moogly! > Up to 7 pages! Just for the record, [the longest](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=32346) “Who can kill the thread?” thread that I’m aware of was 373 posts long before it contracted a fatal case of Moditis. We’re moving up on that number pretty quickly! 🙂 ---
