**Marley23** , I just now realized you had added the links to the existing posts with edits. Thanks! I really appreciate your efforts in this thread. ---

This one almost qualifies for “almost big” status and it’s the longest thread I ever started, by a factor of two I think: [Can America trusts atheists?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=364472) ---

Where’s JDT’s foreskin thread? That made it to like 11 pages; certainly it made 1000 views. I just tried searching for it, used the wrong date criteria, and now I’m locked out for 200 more seconds. Can it be found? ---

I went looking for JDT just the other day after my _Undo_ thread brought up the subject of _Circumcision Damage_ and somebody said to go find Tyler’s thread(s). They appear to be older than my arrival (2003), so I never did locate them. What dates did you try on your search? Is “foreskin” in the title perhaps? Thread titles are much easier to locate than posts. ---

Given that the “over 1,000” criterion for Big Thread consideration was totally arbitrary on my part, I thought I’d add the next layer of threads from each forum to see if any of these would trigger some additional entries to the “Truly Great Threads” thread which has been dormant for a while. (See the OP for a link to it.) All I did, after sorting descending by Number of Replies, was to select the first five threads _after_ the 1,000 Replies point. That way, some of the fora with smaller threads will have some representation. And it gives a little more of a view into the Big Thread fora as well. I’ve left off links to these so if **Marley23** wants to add them, that would be great.
