I might. I’ll think about it, though now that parody OP is only a segment of its former self it would require linking and discussing things not readily available in the OP. Might prove to be clumsy annoying for people to try to follow, cut and paste from, etc.

Plus I need to recharge my batteries. I don’t know if I’m up to another three-day pounding just yet. 😉

Well, he indicated he might be willing to leave it open if there were objections to closing it. I’d be fine with it either way.

I think that question deserves its own thread.
