A thread was born, AuntPam’s creation About thread killers- a new appelation? “Moloster” was suggested and quickly affirmed As the way that these people would henceforth be termed. I sing of the thread that would not die Day after day people clicked 'Post Reply" Everyone vied for their own right to boast “I was the killer, \*\*I \*\*had the last post!” All hopes were dashed, the thread carried through To four, then five pages it blossomed anew. But as all things must,the thread lost it’s bloom And now has been gently laid in it’s tomb. So now let us vow, my SDMB friends Never to let this happen again. ---

I refuse to let this masterpiece sink to the bottom of the page. On another note, if I knew there were so many Chiefs here,(Chief Crunch, Chief Scott,chief, Chef Troy\) I’d have chosen a different name. ---

Well I would never want to let a thread that’s suffering so, to live on in painful agony the way “thread killers” did. ---

We must not merely mourn the death of “Thread Killers.” Take the lessons of “Thread Killers” with you wherever you go. Wherever there is a thread that quickly plummets to Page 2; “Thread Killers” will be there. Whenever my name sits in the ‘last poster’ column of a thread, like a beacon for all to see, like the Citgo sign behind the Green Monster in Fenway Park, “Thread Killers” will be there. Whenever I post in a lively discourse, and my contribution makes those who follow me pause, with a look on their face like they just sniffed a fart, and hit the ‘back’ arrow, “Thread Killers” will be there, too. We must remember. We must learn. We must vow never to forget. ---
