[QUOTE=tdn] So what are you saying? :dubious: [/QUOTE] Precisely what I said. The amount of threads we get on those topics gets to be a little much and I would be happy to not see them for a while. ---

Threads full of whiney people complaining about the variety and wonder of The Human Condition. ---

**Wanna see pictures of my cat?** (Hmm…they sorta look like the other 5,371 threads with pictures of cats that looked exactly the same.) Stupid travel questions: \*\*What is there to see and do in Europe? \*\* **Going to NYC - anything interesting there?** If you are going to ask a travel question, at least go on-line and figure out which continent your destination is in, and perhaps narrow down your interests to something other than, “I like to see and do stuff.” ---

[QUOTE=tdn] Whoosh! I posted that because, frankly, lately half of those threads are mine. I’ll stop now. [/QUOTE] I wasn’t quite sure if it was meant as a question, if you thought I was accusing you, if I offended or if you were making a joke…so I went with ‘he wants me to clarify’ and it seems I missed the mark. Ah well. 🙂 ---

Nigerian scam threads. Listen kiddies, I know you think it’s cool that you got one, but I got my first one 20 years ago by fax, or maybe carrier pigeon. We’ve seen them in all their forms many times, and yes, we’ve also seen them played out for laughs. It’s old. It’s boring. Hit the delete button. ---

“Is such-and-such a word considered offensive?” Yeah, _that_ will lead to a productive discussion. “Does the Queen of England have any power?” “When/why did the Queen of England lose her power?” “If the Queen of England wanted to, could she re-assert her power?” “What about Canada or Australia? Does she have any power there?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thread-topics-you-dont-want-to-see-again-at-least-for-awhile/417320.md?page=2)
