This post, paradoxically, does not belong in this thread.
If this were another post, it would say something completely different. Alas, it does not.

This is a post that revives this thread, but would probably be better left un-typed.
Any resemblance of characters in this post to persons real or imagined is purely coincidental.
This sentence no verb.
This post records the surrender of its author, who avoided viewing this thread as long as he could, knowing he would find it witty and amusing and knowing he could not resist forever, being somewhat addicted to word play and logic, both of which are combined in this thread, and although we seem to have drifted somewhat from our opening phrase, we are still talking about this post, sometimes in the plural third person, frequently referred to as the “royal we”, in deference to its alleged use by British monarchs, notably Queen Victoria, who was one of the earliest persons (women actually), certainly the most famous at the time, to use anesthesia during childbirth, legitimizing its use, which had been questioned since Eve was directed, in Genesis, to bring forth children in sorrow, although God had seemingly authorized anesthesia by causing a deep sleep to fall upon Adam before he removed the rib from which Eve was formed, which is fairly typical of Biblical controversies, with each side able to cite scriptures to support their positions, not unlike this message board or, for that matter, other forums for debate (although it’s not necessarily scriptures that are cited), such as talk radio, which is generally agreed to be much more conservative than most other media, but which, I’m sure, if someone asserted this as fact on this message board, someone else would find some reason to contradict that assertion, and then someone would contradict the contradiction, which sometimes leads to rancor but this is unusual in this forum (MPSIMS), where discussion is generally much more sedate, aiming for wit and humor rather than argument, which brings us back to this post, which has gone on rather long and, if you haven’t noticed, is only one sentence long.
This post expresses disagreement with the idea that logic is present in this thread to any large degree.

This post continue an old tradition of
Hiding its message
In the initial letter of each line,
Spelling out its secret vertically
Possibly too simple a cipher for this forum –
On the other hand, it
Serve the purpose of the OP,
To be self-referential, and at least partly amusing
And this post corrects the error in number in the previous post, adding an “s” to the initial word in the next-to-last line. The error was caused by a sticky “s” key on the poster’s keyboard, an annoying development since so many words in the English language (including most plurals) rely on this sibilant letter. Sigh.
This post is a test of the Emergency Posting System. This is only a test.
If this post were an actual emergency, it would self-destruct in 5 seconds.
This post also has a signature with a quote by an Enlightenment scholar.
That that is is that that is, and that is this post.
This post contains an error.
