Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. I will point out however that threads like this would be better suited to our [MPSIMS forum](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=4). Consequently, I am closing this thread. ---

Actually, maybe this thread, since it’s the first one, could just stay open, and rise to the surface every year or so, to make people smile 🙂 ---

Not a chance. I bet Arnold’s going to move or close it as soon as he realizes yet another refugee from pre-vB time is back with us. Or, do you suppose it’s possible that, this being the first one Arnold had to close, maybe he just didn’t turn the key far enough? ---

I thought I had closed this thread before, and closed it **after** the switch to vBulletin. Anyway, **beatle** is right in guessing that it’s getting closed again. Say goodnight Gracie. * * * moderator, «[**Comments on Cecil’s Columns**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=1)»
