It’s a bit cheeky, I know. But if just _one_ thread could be saved from that board, could it be the nine page religious epic in GD? There were some wonderful moments in it, including an actual consensus between **Spiritus Mundi** and **Libertarian** - something which should _definitely_ be preserved for the record!

**Scylla** ’s thread on flea circuses in _Comments on Cecil’s Columns_ is another one worth saving too and not just because The Perfect Master replied to him.

Can someone please post the address for the temporary board, so that I can see what was posted on a thread last night. Thanks.

Well, Kabbes, my friend, we can always testify that we were there. But will anyone believe us? 😉

Well how do you know that we _were_ there? Is it not just atoms influencing neural pathways? Such things can be faked. The words you read are not the author.

Ah, moral choices — what life is all about. Shall I decide that it was real, or shall I decide that it was a unicorn?
