You should all be glad _I_ came along and noticed this thread so it can finally rest in peace. Amateurs. 🙂 ---

Actually, i think it would be appropriate to let me kill it. Since i finally decided to start posting, killing my first thread will be a great learning experience! Very well then, it’s settled. ---

If this turns out to be a case of clashing egos, this thread could go on for quite a bit… “Let ME murder it!” “No, _I_ am the only one qualified for the final kill!” “Step aside, I’ve got a machine gun!” That kind of thing. Then again, maybe it dies after MY post! \ ---
