I guess it’s difficult to know if any thread has ever truly received 0 replies. Judging from recent board activity, any given thread could potentially be bumped years later. Anyway… > [@pesch](#): > > Great Debates: The Schlewig-Holstein question, pro or con? In all seriousness, I would read and reply to this. I can well believe I’d be the only one, though. ---

**Lamia** I’d reply to that thread by saying “ahem … did you mean the _Schleswig_-Holstein question” ? ---

> [@wolf\_meister](#): > > **Lamia** > I’d reply to that thread by saying > “ahem … did you mean the _Schleswig_-Holstein question” ? And I’d reply to that to say that you shouldn’t nitpick someone’s spelling while completely ignoring the point of the thread. Then we could have a long hijack about what constitutes an appropriate reply and the standards of discourse in GD, and the whole thing would drag on until it was either locked or dumped in the Pit. So I think that thread would get a lot of replies after all. 😉 ---

> [@The Great Zamboni](#): > > Ridicule who? The poster, or the Pres? Givin the composition of this board, likely both. I have confidence and faith that Dopers of all political persuasions would ridicule anyone who posted something in that style, regardless of the opportunity to bash Bush. ---

That’s true. Of all of the message boards I have visited, The Straight Dope is the only one where people bother to spell right and use proper grammar. **KKK Members: How to enter?** ---

C’mon, **Gadfly**! Knowing the smartass ratio on this board, you should have realized that the second you posted a link to a thread you didn’t want anyone to post to that it would be posted to by SOMEONE… :smack: ---

**Gadfly** didn’t lose. He (she?) confirmed the theory that there is nothing Dopers won’t talk about and nothing we won’t do to bump our post counts. ---

BTW, **Gadfly** , Your little experiment didn’t last long. Although it did prove that Mods are a touchy bunch. The thread was locked and the Mod didn’t even respond. How rude! 🙂 **Alien Abductees: Let’s Talk** ---
