Sadly, no. It was just a topic of discussion at work today. 😃

So, we should be happy that **Aldebaran** is here, no? \*

- I’ve posted _way_ too much in that thread. What thread? _That_ thread, the one which smells like someone forgot to take out the garbage after having a shrimp-fest.

Oh yes, there will still be the occasional thread like that, but I don’t think we will see a return to the endless parades of bush bashing threads, each acting like their quible is the most shocking news about Bush yet. For a while a majority of threads here were Bush bashers! Lord, but I am glad that those days are gone.
