Nope. **ETF** , sprinting through on her way to the barn. **Angua** , in her eternal Quest For Coffee. ---

I predict [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=221941) will be the next thread to join the ranks of _Uberthread_, a special category that Davebear, Flamme, and I created by accident just this September. **ChuckForbin** ---

Why all the negativity towards MY thread? There are other 3K+ threads in this forum. In the interest of fairness, go post death wishes in those, too. 🙂 I wonder if there’s any way we can figure out what happened with these 3K+ threads. What made them grow so quickly? What keeps them going? Why is it such a recent phenomenon (I include the near 1K GQ death ray thread, too)? (The “A” thread was indicator that this stuff was bound to happen, btw) Is it just the nature of the forum MPSIMS? Remember, this very forum is nothing more than a continuation of a single thread from the AOL days (according to some post from some other thread somewhere). Am I the only one this fascinated by this odd behavior? **Zeldar** , please join the discussion. ---

They’re just being arsey and claiming I haven’t put the right parameters in. But I have talked nicely to them now, and offered my computer new hardware which we can play with together at night, and it all seems to work fine now. **BigDaiv** ---

Darn it, haven’t I told you over and over, set the machine on warm wash and cold rinse, not hot and hot? You really need to be more careful when you wash your brain, **BigDaiv**. And I suppose the dryer was set to high, too, huh? Harrumph. Now forcing his way in: **That Insufferable Jerk** ---

Ah, you must have braincramps from the pinching of the clothespins then. I predict Prince Charles will not be involved in this thread, and any allegations that he is or has been are most strenuously denied by the Palace.
