This may be one.

Me posting in this threads increases the chances the threadkiller is me, doesn’t it?

I seem to have killed about three in the last couple of days, so maybe this will do it.

Hi… My name is tanookie and I too am a thread murderer.

I started innocently enough just trying to answer the OPs. I’d work up my courage and type up a post, carefully preview, then bravely press submit. Anxiously I would await a reply… did anyone read my post? Does anyone even know it is there? Alas no… the thread would hence be dead.

Later I got bolder! I would hijack innocent threads and see if they too would die by my post. They did.

The thirst for thread death is now too strong. Whatever will I do. I turn to you … here… you all understand.

Please don’t let me kill another thread!

Your diary must look a bit odd.

08:00 AM Death.  
09:00 AM Death.  
10:00 AM Death.  
11:00 AM Death.  
12:00 PM Light lunch.  
01:00 PM Death.  
02:00 PM Death.  
03:00 PM Death.  
04:00 PM Afternoon tea.  
05:00 PM Death.  
06:00 PM Death.  
07:00 PM Death.  
08:00 PM Quick shower.

You must get up very early in the morning - I can’t even get down to the gym!

My apologies to Eddie Izzard.

Lol I love Eddie Izzard. I was thinking about that skit too, when I started the thread.
