> [@jnglmassiv](#): > > Is there any unresolved board business here? Reported to request thread closure. Well, damn, now I feel like I’ve gotta post here before it’s closed. Y’know, I feel like a seasoned Doper, but I’ve never been banned from a particular thread. Or a topic. I think that’d be kind of a badge of honor… “I’d tell you about my re-creation of _ **North By Northwest** starring stop-action Pez Dispensers_, but **Tuba Diva** says I can’t mention it for 400 business days, so ask me again a year from October.” ---

Closing this thread is akin to banning every poster from posting in it, which would make Ace a man ahead of his time. ---
