> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mikie \* > \*\*I wonder what **Unca Cece** thinks of this thread? \*\* It would be fun to know, but then what’s to think? It just is, and that’s about all that can be said. To deny that would be hard to support with all the evidence available. There would be those who would try, I suppose. Some people. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Isabelle \* > \*\*Hey wait a minute! Is this thread Democrat or Republican? \*\* To my recollection this thread has yet to declare a party, a gender, a religious preference, a sexual preference, a nationality, a creed, an ethnic affiliation or even a national origin. Neuter in all categories so far. Might even be an anti-thread. (Somebody already asked the Uncle question.) A thread squarely in the middle of the road. Maybe this thread needs a name? Threaddy is already in the bag. Any others to go in? I’ll toss out Montague. ---

How many posts must a Doper submit before you can call her The Man? Yes, ‘n’ how many trolls must we throw in the Pit Before they’re forever banned? Yes, ‘n’ how many hamsters can we make quit Before we could name us a band? The answer, my friend, is somewhere in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206379)… The answer is blowin’ in this thread. ---
