Geez…with the record broken, this all feels kinda…empty. What else left is there now? Maybe it’s time to put this to rest. Yeah, that’s probably for the best. Hey Mods, would someone mind closing this thread, please? Like, right now this very second?? 🙂 ---

Damn, do none of you have a life on the weekend? I fully expected this thread to be gone … well, no actually that’s not true. I hoped it would be gone. I fully expected it to remain. And remain it does and remain it will until it dies an unnatural death. But we will not talk of Those Who Can Kill Threads On A Whim. ---
